We hung the sun, they steal the moon. Old Manhattan drowned too soon. New Manhattan scrapes the sky, But it can't teach the stars to die. They build their towers tall and blue, Just to block the morning through. But every dawn still finds its cue, When I wake up next to you. We hang the sun, and chase the moon. I'm working six to nine 'cause I come home to you. Count my pay in bolts and screws, Spend it all on my nights with you. While they chasing moons anew, Oo, darling I'm chasin the stars I find in you. Oh, your eyes! They shine like the stars they hide, But my love they won't get close to you. You shine so bright, beneath these neon lights, Let me hold you close the whole night through. Every train and factory sigh, Every billboard in the sky, Fade to nothing when you smile - Makes this hard world feel worthwhile. They hide the moon, I'll chase your stars, Working six to nine 'cause I go where you are. Count my pay in bolts and screws, Spend it all on these nights I have with you. They can chase they're moons, But my darling I'll chase those stars in you. Let the skyline take the day, Let the rich all look away. I've no need for something new-- I've got every dream in you. You hang my sun, you are my moon, Old Manhattan drowned to soon. New Manhattan scrapes the sky, But it still can't teach stars to die. You hang my sun, you are my moon. Oh darling, I hope I am the stars to you.....too.
