New York City Lyrics

when i was younger
i used to wish for things like games and toys
i made my list, same time every year
even though i grew up,
i realized i'm still the same little boy
but now i'm only wishing you were here

if you could see what i'm seeing
the snow falling down
all the footprints on sidewalks
cover the ground
and all the lights up in times square
light the whole town
i wish i could be there now

i'll take you there
i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime
nothing compares
to seeing your face light up when you see the lights
i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree
there's nothing i'd rather do
cause if i had one wish oh, it would be
to spend my winter with you
in new york city

when i was younger
i used to walk the streets just because
i wanted to see snowflakes falling down
i used to stay up late and wish that i'd see santa clause
but now i'm only wish you were around

if you could see what i'm seeing
the snow falling down
all the footprints on sidewalks
cover the ground
and all the lights up in times square
light the whole town
i wish i could be there now

i'll take you there
i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime
nothing compares
to seeing your face light up when you see the lights
i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree
there's nothing i'd rather do
cause if i had one wish oh, it would be
to spend my winter with you
in new york city

fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la
fa la la la la la la la

i'll take you there
i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime
nothing compares
to seeing your face light up when you see the lights
i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree
there's nothing i'd rather do
cause if i had one wish oh, it would be
to spend my winter with you
in new york city
