New York City

Sometimes New York City
Is as cold as a stone
It can steal you away
Leaving me all alone

Your heart becomes driven
As you walk down the street
There’s so much to look at
And so many to meet

The bright lights distract you
But they set you afire
They hold your attention
And feed your desire

I follow you briefly
Then you’re lost in the maze
You keep moving ahead
While I’m left in a haze

What path will you travel
As you seek your success?
You look at the local
But you hop on express

You strive to climb higher
And you shine like a star 
Please always remember
That I’m watching afar

And when you have made it
But have no one to hold
You’ll remember my words
New York City is cold
