Love Began in New York

Corner cafe, the rain had just gone
She stood with a book and a smile half-drawn
Her hat slightly tilted, her gloves pale cream
I swear I saw waltz inside that scene

Oh, New York, you played your part so fine
Two strangers met beneath your skyline
One glance and the world felt new
The city faded, it was only her and you

A cab rolled by, the papers flew free
She laughed like a verse in a melody
No promise made, no word was said
Still I keep her name inside my head

Oh, New York, you played your part so fine
Two strangers met beneath your skyline
One glance and the world felt new
The city faded, it was only her and you

Maybe she caught the ten o'clock train
Or maybe she'll walk that street again
But if I ever see her face once more
I'll thank the city I adore

Oh, New York, you played your part so fine
Two strangers met beneath your skyline
One glance and the world felt new
The city faded, it was only her and you
