about

This track describes romantic places of this city through touching piano notes and heartfelt vocals in a Broadway-style Rock Musical. The song was written after dropping of a souvenir mug from a gift shop, where Maurice became to feel nostalgic and homesick for his overseas trips to this city.

lyrics

It's so sad, we dropped the cup
And then came by a good thought
it's been one year, since we lost touch
We miss you and should come back

We have a dream, we'd love to be
Inside some broadway scene
Defying gravity
Or Walking like a man

You can live your dreams in New York
You can start the spark
Singing like a star
In a Piano Bar

From east to west, Delis, shops and stores
Feel the underground warm mist
While Subway shakes, the ground beneath your feet
Good vibrations make bricks dance

From north to south, taxis on the run
The Never ending streets
Wide Concrete walls and sidewalks
Beast and Beauty all in one

You can feel real love in New York
Walking Through the Park
Living for today

Let’s start the day, Starbucks’s fine
Coffe and bagel ritual
Social network time, which pic to share?
There's so much art everywhere

A walk in Central Park, before it gets dark
squirrels posing for the lens
Plenty of lovers on each bench
Pigeons sitting on each fence

You can start your trip anywhere
You can change your mind
You can change your flight
And stay in New York

It’s Christmas day, and the city is full of lights
And The Big Tree’s showing off
Some Romeo kneels down in Bryant Park
And his Juliette says “yes”

Special Christmas lunch and Jazz at the Garage
Evening spent on Bleecker Street, the folk's still in the air
Bass sounds pouring from the doors, Powers' show at Terra Blues
We begin to feel like lost and found castaways

You can start your band in New York
You can show the chords
Of your old guitar
Down on Bleecker Street

Down on Ludlow St. at No Fun Bar we cheers
Sudden stop at Rudy's Shop and let your fingers play

We can live our dreams in New York
We can feel real love in New York
We can leave our troubles far behind
We could have it all
We should dream alive
Turn from dark to light,
Only In New York Streets
