New York City

when i was younger

i used to wish for things like games and toys

i made my list, same time every year

even though i grew up,

i realized i'm still the same little boy

but now i'm only wishing you were here

if you could see what i'm seeing

the snow falling down

all the footprints on sidewalks

cover the ground

and all the lights up in times square

light the whole town

i wish i could be there now

i'll take you there

i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime

nothing compares

to seeing your face light up when you see the lights

i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree

there's nothing i'd rather do

cause if i had one wish oh, it would be

to spend my winter with you

in new york city

when i was younger

i used to walk the streets just because

i wanted to see snowflakes falling down

i used to stay up late and wish that i'd see santa clause

but now i'm only wish you were around

if you could see what i'm seeing

the snow falling down

all the footprints on sidewalks

cover the ground

and all the lights up in times square

light the whole town

i wish i could be there now

i'll take you there

i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime

nothing compares

to seeing your face light up when you see the lights

i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree

there's nothing i'd rather do

cause if i had one wish oh, it would be

to spend my winter with you

in new york city

fa la la la la la la la

fa la la la la la la la

fa la la la la la la la

fa la la la la la la la

i'll take you there

i'll show you the scenery in the wintertime

nothing compares

to seeing your face light up when you see the lights

i wanna hold you hand underneath the tree

there's nothing i'd rather do

cause if i had one wish oh, it would be

to spend my winter with you
