New York City Rhythm (intro) Songtext
von Barry Manilow

When my heart is torn apart by love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city′s lights
And things don't seem so bad
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I loss my blues when the New York City rhythm fills my soul

It′s the New York City rhythm runnin' through my life
The poundin' beat of the city′s streets that keeps my dreams alive
I′m lost, I'm found, I′m up, I'm down but somehow I survive
It′s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life


When I′m out for love or sin, oh it's good to be in town
In the funky dives on the old West Side
There's always something goin′ down
Yes, I live my life with strangers and the danger′s always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
And you know that I don′t care

It's the New York City rhythm runnin′ through my life
The poundin' beat of the city′s streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found, I′m up, I′m down but some how I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh it′s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life

Oh, got to, got to, got to be New York City rhythm
Oh, got to, got to, got to be New York City rhythm
Oh, got to, got to, got to be New York City rhythm
Oh, got to, got to, got to be
