Walk ing through a crowd, the Vil lage is a glow,
ka lei do scope of loud heart beats un der coats.
Ev ’ry bod y here want ed some thing more.
Search ing for a sound we had n’t heard be fore.
And it said: (G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,
it’s been wait ing for you.
(G5)Wel come to New (D5)York, wel come (C5)to New York.

When we first dropped our bags on a part ment floors,
took our bro ken hearts, put them in a drawer.
Ev ’ry bod y here was some one else be fore.
And you can watch who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls.
Like an y (D5)great love, it keeps you guess ing.
