NYC - GSH

When I'm needing comfort
Or special time to be alone
Among her noise and chaos
Is where I feel at home
Oh, strolling down her sidewalks
Her streets and avenues
Oh, listening to her rhythms
My soul recharges and renews
My New York City
My New York City
She's my city
Her flavors, they entice me
The spicy curries on her lips
Beg me to seduce her
Then sting and burn me when we kiss
I crave her cool gelato
I'm thick with jealousy
Of her multitudes of lovers
'Cause they don't yearn for her like me
My New York City, my city
She's my city, she's my lover
She's my sister, there ain't no other
She's my city
She calls me like the sirens
When I'm deep within my grief
And sweet talks to my passion
For musical relief
In her velvet swinging jazz clubs
Those downtown bluesy bars
With rich smoke waftin' lazy around
Blue Note's sweet guitars
I rest in her arms, peaceful
Because she never sleeps
With wild neon midnights
And that underground mystique
Oh, reflective pools near Alice
Those quiet spots of scented greens
With fresh young dreams
That shimmer in
Palettes of citrine
My city
Captivate you if you let her
Yeah there ain't no city better
Yeah she's my city
My New York City
She is my city
My city, she's my lover
She's my sister, there ain't no other
Like my city
I don't know why I love you
Well, maybe it's because you remind me of myself
My city
My city
