text: I remember it like it was yesterday
  Snow in the park and skaters on the ice
  Long black cars standing side-by-side
  Loading up the boys at night
  Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind
  Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights
  Not something youd see on a New York street
  Its such an uncommon sight
  But I wouldnt have it any other way
  This citys got a thing about it, dont try to understand it
  New York city Id really like to stay
  New York city I wouldnt have you
  I wouldnt have you any other way
  Oh the subway rumbled underneath
  Italian lights where joey gallo died
  And the man on the door down at 54s
  Letting only the pretty inside
  Id wake with a stranger under the covers
  Late in the day and longing for the night
  Just like the snowfall theres so many bodies
  But somehow it feels so right
  And I can feel the magic
  And read a million lips
  And no matter what might happen
  Theyll never sink this ship
