Soon you'll be leaving, gotta go
Something inside you already knows
You're gonna leave this small town behind
Get some big city lights in your eyes
All this scenery soon will be fading
Liberty's waiting, New York lady
You'll land in Manhattan on your feet
Design you a miracle on 34th street
Dress the children up with your style
Brighten Brooklyn just with a smile
Make the sun shine where it was shady
It's your apple baby, New York lady
And all of Central Park
Couldn't hold your imagination
The ideas running through your head
It's like Grand Central Station
And the Empire State
Ain't as high as you're gonna be
New York lady
