Won’t you meet me in New York City
Walk with me down the avenues
Won’t you meet me burrowed in buildings
Stay with me through the passing afternoon
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us
And the golden windows all light up
Circling round us like the stars
As the serenade of honking cars
Sing their cacophony song
We’ll go so sweetly ambling on
Won’t you meet me in New York City
In the autumn when the leaves change
Because I’ve been told they’re so pretty
In Central Park on a bench by the lake
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us
And the golden windows all light up
Won’t you meet me in New York City
Midway across the Brooklyn Bridge
And bring me a heart so heavy
That you can’t live without
We’ll drown it in the Hudson
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us
