Manhattan sparkles, as night scenes melt away

Our dreams reflect upon the Hudson's bay

The wind slips through between the towers high

Remembering promises of days gone by

Fifth Avenue lights will never fade

Taxis flow through this midnight parade

Neon signs beckon toward tomorrow's light

In this city where time stands still tonight

Rain-washed streets under yellow glows

Time Square dancing as the music flows

New York, New York

My heart dances tonight

With you I found this city's gleaming light

New York, New York

Everyone's a star

Chasing Broadway-colored dreams so far

Yes, this city casts its magic spell

Where everyone can start their life again

That's why I too can grow strong and new

Shining brightly with this city's hue

Until the sun rises past Brooklyn Bridge

Let's keep running, no need to pause

Transcending time, never fading away

The memories this city gave to me today

Forever in my heart, they'll stay alive

Endlessly glowing as time passes by

(New York, New York...)
