[Verse 1]
Standing on a rooftop, overlooking the park
Eyes are glowing in the dark
The smell of horses lingers in the air
It feels like something else is out there
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
[Verse 2]
The clouds are low and cast a misty spell
As if they've got a story to tell
A constellation overhead
A cross like an ancient gift something, let me here
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
[Bridge]
Is it ever too late?
To do what's never been done
Things change and they're never quite the same
For anyone
[Verse 3]
Never understandin'
But now that people told me
This city own its own mess
Like arms still hold me
I just heard traffic rushin' past
Everything goin', goin' too fast
Everything goin', goin' too fast
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
Standing on a rooftop, overlooking the park
Eyes are glowing in the dark
The smell of horses lingers in the air
It feels like something else is out there
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
[Verse 2]
The clouds are low and cast a misty spell
As if they've got a story to tell
A constellation overhead
A cross like an ancient gift something, let me here
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
[Bridge]
Is it ever too late?
To do what's never been done
Things change and they're never quite the same
For anyone
[Verse 3]
Never understandin'
But now that people told me
This city own its own mess
Like arms still hold me
I just heard traffic rushin' past
Everything goin', goin' too fast
Everything goin', goin' too fast
[Chorus]
Maybe love is in New York City
Fluorescent streets might lead me to it
I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong
If it was here, I never knew it
If it was here all along
