New York City

can be so pretty

From a bird ' s

eye view

Because

up there yeah

that ' s where

I first

kissed you

a modern day

romance

A perfect

performance

acting like

two fools

Saying

silly things

Whisper sweet

nothings

Like young

lovers only do

I was shaking

you were

breath taking

Like the

Empire State

my voice

was so far

Not quite

Sinatra

singing songs

So great yeah

the clock

struck one

The night

still very young

In the city

that never sleeps

Then a whirl

wind blew

When I first

kissed you

Nearly swept me

swept me off

my feet

When I first

kissed you

That ' s when

I knew oh

I was in love

Because up there

yeah that ' s where

I first

kissed you
