Once upon a long ago
Your hand was mine to hold
But now you'd never know
It's as if I was a ghost
A memory deleted
A runoff sentence not completed
But I was there
I was there
'Cause New York City was my witness
To every act of love that we committed
Astor Place
Saw me kiss you
Central Park
Helped me win you
Snowing on a winter night
I held you close
I held you tight
I've heard the things you've said
I've heard we were just friends
Friends who walked alone
Trading secrets I hope you've never told
And if you look me in the eye
A thousand heavens will collide
'Cause I was there
I was there
'Cause New York City was my witness
To every act of love that we committed
Astor Place
Saw me kiss you
Central Park
Helped me win you
Snowing on a winter night
I held you close
I held you tight
You can say what you say
It doesn't matter
New York City saw it this way
'Cause New York City was my witness
To every act of love that we committed
Astor Place
Saw me kiss you
Central Park
Helped me win you
Snowing on a winter night
I held you close
I held you tight
I like New York in June
How about you?
I like New York in June
How about you?
