The sun is on the river There's a disco on the pier Through a champagne glowing gold L can see your house from here Oh let the night come to meet me L might as well be dreaming Do you hear the whirlwind sing Roses so sweet We all need some company They walk among you The stars of New York Take like a train like some people Ride a taxi on the avenue And when the pushes come to shove They probably fall in love like you do Get down And though we tighten our belts Burn through our pay And learn to live and go without There is a crowd around the hotel Flash bulbs and lights And I wonder what it's all about It's like a hole in a cloud A pearl in the swirly black water A pale lonesome song That trails on and on and on They walk among you The stars of New York Take like a train like some people Ride a taxi on the avenue And when the pushes come to shove They probably fall in love like you do And if tomorrow's not a bigger life Then we've only got ourselves to blame Is every curse a blessing in disguise Or a bump in the road On the ride of your life The weakest get to pull the cart The fittest survive Let the night come to meet me I might as well be dreaming Do you hear the whirlwind sing Rises so sweet We all need some company They walk among you The stars of New York Take like a train like some people Ride a taxi on the avenue And when the pushes come to shove They probably fall in love like you do
