The skyline seems to disappear
When you're lonely in New York
Sidewalks don't lead anywhere
When you're lonely in New York
Rush hour traffic, not a soul around
The echo of your heartbeat makes the only sound
Broadway is a dead-end street
When you're lonely in New York
Rockefeller Center doesn't rock
When you're lonely in New York
Central Park, just a parking lot
When you're lonely in New York
The lady with the torch is your one and only friend
In the city that never sleeps, your nightmare never ends
You'd trade Manhattan for a string of beads
When you're lonely in New York
(Instrumental)
Sidewalks don't lead anywhere
When you're lonely in New York
Broadway is a dead-end street
When you're lonely...in New York
