| Manhattan Skyline, surround me | 
| Just like a lady, you’re still holding | 
| Your light burning for me to see | 
| 'Cause I’d do most anything | 
| For all those nights that you bring to me | 
| All of your love | 
| I’ve been so long in the city | 
| The city has been so long inside of me | 
| Been so long, it’s a pity, I’m so far away | 
| But I still do The Big Apple Waltz | 
| I’d buy an empire in any state | 
| Building the future around you | 
| 'Cause where love grows, it’s never too late | 
| We’ll paint a heart on the wall | 
| For the whole of the world to see | 
| All of my love | 
| I’ve been so long in the city | 
| The city has been so long inside of me | 
| Been so long, it’s a pity, I’m so far away | 
| But I still do The Big Apple Waltz | 
| Loving you, is my feeling of dejá-vu | 
| Loving you, I know it’s true, oh yeah | 
| We’ll paint a heart on the wall | 
| For the whole of the world to see | 
| All of our love | 
| I’ve been so long in the city | 
| The city has been so long inside of me | 
| Been so long, it’s a pity, I’m so far away | 
| But I still do The Big Apple Waltz | 
| I’ve been so long in the city | 
| The city has been so long inside of me |
