New York Forever

Many years ago I came to this city With a pocket full of dreams I learned to get tough when things got gritty But harder times we’ve never seen We got shut down for god knows how long Some say it may never be the same And everybody’s hurting deep down inside But there’s a lesson in the pain We’re gonna build it back better Cause we’re in this together New York forever New York forever New York’s been my girlfriend when I’ve been lonely She’s been my teacher when I’m lost She will always be my one and only And I’ll never leave her, no matter the cost Cause nothing’s gonna kill New York City Real New Yorkers know what I mean We don’t waste our time on self-pity Cause we live in a magic city of dreams So let’s build it back better Cause we’re in this together New York forever New York forever And we’ll sing it together New York forever New York forever New York forever It's many years later and I’m still here With a pocket full of dreams And I’ve learned that anything is possible No matter how far away it seems So let’s build it back better Cause we’re in this together New York forever New York forever And we'll sing it together (It's time to innovate) New York forever (Don't give in to fear!) New York forever (We built the Empire State building) New York forever (In less than a year!) Come on and sing it together (New York forever) New York forever (New York forever) New York forever (New York forever) New York forever!
