MIDNIGHT IN MANHATTAN

(Verse 1)
The neon rain was falling down on Broadway street [1]
I stepped inside to find some shelter from the sleet [1]
The saxophone was sighing low, a smoky blues [1, 2]
I took a seat and tried to lose my winter blues [1, 2]
Then through the amber light and shadows of the room [1, 2]
Your eyes met mine and chased away the midnight gloom [1, 2]
(Verse 2)
You held a glass of dark Manhattan in your hand [1, 2]
(While velvet rhythms started drifting from the band) [1, 2]
The city outside was a wild and roaring crowd [1]
(But in this corner, not a whisper was too loud) [1, 2]
You pulled a chair, you didn't even ask my name [1, 2]
(But New York changed, and we would never be the same) [1, 2]
(Chorus)
And oh, the jazz was playing sweet and slow [1, 2]
(While Greenwich Village watched the winter turn to glow) [1, 2]
A sudden spark inside this crowded avenue [1]
(Two lonely hearts became a melody for two) [1, 2]
Lost in the rhythm of a New York night [1]
(We found our heaven in the dim nightclub light) [1, 2]
(Bridge)
(They say this city never sleeps, it just runs fast) [1, 2]
(But time stood still for us, we made the moment last) [1, 2]
(The piano keys were weeping softly in the dark) [1, 2]
(While in our chest, a fire grew from just a spark) [1, 2]
(No longer strangers looking for a place to hide) [1, 2]
(With you right here, I have the universe inside) [1, 2]
(Verse 3)
The keeper called for final drinks, the night was through [1, 2]
But I was drunk on nothing else but watching you [1]
We stepped outside into the chilly morning air [1]
The streetlamps shining on the gold warmth of your hair [1]
A jazz cafe, a random door against the cold [1]
The greatest story that this city’s ever told [1]
(Outro)
Just play it slow... [1, 2]
(That New York night, we didn't want to let it go...) [1, 2]
Mm, let the music fade... [1, 2]
(Look what a beautiful romance we made...) [1, 2]
(In the heart of the city...) [1, 2]
So sweet, so pretty... [1]
(Just you and me.) [1, 2]
