lyrics

Summer in New York
Skies are blue, but I’m across the river
Missing you, but nothing like before
Summer in New York

Jazz in Central Park
Chocolate kisses stolen in the dark
Rooftop romance. Sugar by the shore.
Summer in New York

What a time we had!
Gone from good to bad
Remember how we would strut
and promenade the Strand
The men were hat in hand
Fifth Avenue was oh, so grand!
The heat
came rising through our feet
When sin and sidewalk meet
you’re dancing to a very different band
Oh, man

Now that we’re apart,
the memory’s more precious than forever
You’ll always be my Coney Island heart
Summer in New York
Summer in New York
Summer in New York
