Marathon
copyright 2004: Stephen O? Reilly

The Marathon was runnin?
The city? s on a high and everyone keeps comin?
Cheering in the cold, but what is cold when you are
huggin?
Everybody knows the City? s getting? some lovin?

We would walk 66th street
Your hand was in my back pant pocket? a real treat
Corduroys the day and everyone was "Rocker"
I love it when you say you "love me"
Like it? s a shocker

We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city? s yours and mine


There is a saying they say sometimes
"You life is just a day"
and, if that? s so, they must have dreamt mine.
I? m holding out my hand.
You take my hand for the taking.
I even made you laugh at all those bad jokes I was
making.
I swear let this day keep coming true.
I? m falling in love along First Avenue.
It? s never been me, but babe I think I? ve arrived
I need you with me to make my city alive.

We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city? s yours and mine

Can this be the same city that I bemoan?
Can this be the same city where I was alone?
Can this be? Or is this from Heaven up above?
Can it be? I found my "present" in new love
Oh please!
Pretty please!
Oh yea, we are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this City? s yours and mine

We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this City? s yours and mine
