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 breathtaking Like the Empire State My voice was so far, not quite Sinatra Singing songs so great The clock struck one The night still very young In the city that never sleeps Then a whirlwind 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
