I'm, not falling in love
Not chasing a dream
Or painting a picture of you

Stand, with feet on the ground
Not holding my breath
Just waiting for time to bring you

Near, I'm holding you close
I try to be patient
The distance between us breaks me

Soon, be breathing you in
When I'm safely home
And the clouds break

People come
People go
You'll be waiting there
And I won't see you falter
People run
People fall
Breaking through the mist
You'll be standing taller

Chorus:
So tell me
New york,new york,
New york,new york,
Beacon of light across the sea
New york,new york,
New york,new york,
Hold out your hand and walk with me

You, you keep me alive
A reason to be
A friend who will make me stronger

We can talk till it's late
We'll wait for the sun
To wake the manhattan sky line

When, the crowds have all gone
And it's only us
We will stay here
People come
People go
You'll be waiting there
And I won't see you falter
People run
People fall
Breaking through the mist
You'll be standing taller

Chorus

Breathe you in, and I
Know that you're back again
Live with me
For the rest of my lifetime baby

People come
People go
You'll be waiting there
And I won't see you falter
People run
People fall
Breaking through the mist
You'll be standing taller

Chorus

Breathe you in, and I
Know that you're back again
Live with me
For the rest of my lifetime baby
