[Verse] Oh this city keeps its glow in the night It hums and it shines it's a dazzling sight Beneath the lights where the dreams arise The stars bow down to these concrete skies [Verse 2] The avenues stretch like whispers in time Every corner a note every step a rhyme From Harlem’s groove to the Bowery’s song This city proves it’s where hearts belong [Chorus] New York oh you’re the jewel of the earth Where hopes collide and give dreams new birth No city rises quite so high You make the world spin and kiss the sky [Verse 3] The Hudson reflects a shimmering dance From high above the skyline enchants The pulse of life on Broadway's tune A love affair with the silver moon [Bridge] The taxi horns sing a glorious beat Life flows swift down every street The echoes of triumph ring through the air This city stands beyond compare [Chorus] New York oh you’re the jewel of the earth Where hopes collide and give dreams new birth No city rises quite so high You make the world spin and kiss the sky
