The View From Here (Riverwalk)

The city is sparkling with twinkling lights
It's one of those magic, Manhattan-y nights
Can't tell what comes next, he's sure taking it slow
But he's holding my hand and he's not letting go

He's goofy, he's tall, he's got a good heart
But I don't wanna fall and have it all fall apart
I look in his eyes and they keep saying, "Leap and the net will appear"
So why not dive in? 'Cause a brand new beginning feels long overdue

That's the view from here
That's the view from here

They said it's supposed to snow tonight
Really? It doesn't feel cold enough
Not cold at all

How wet are my armpits, how red is my face?
When I used to date, holding hands was third base
I think there's a spark, could this thing become real?
Could it possibly be that she might feel like I feel?

This woman's as kind as a human could be
So why would she wind up with someone like me?
And what if we find out in time maybe I'm that same jerk, like I fear?
'Cause the man that I see could so easily be just a Scrooge déjà vu

That's the view from here
That's the view from here

Maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right
'Cause tonight it's so perfectly clear
Somehow I see who I could be just being with you
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
