This small town girl,
who’s seen some of the world,
aspires to see the big city.
I want to take a long flight
and take a big bite
out of the city
that never sleeps.
I’m a musical girl,
but I don’t expect
I’ll sing beyond the din of the subway.
I was told, long ago,
I was there, once before,
My father’s return from war
took me away.
Of all the things I could wish for in life,
If a genie appeared to me now,
I’d use all my wishes
For Times Square,
Central Park,
and Broadway.
This life has been good,
but unlucky.
So, I know that dream
will never come true.
But, I’ll still aspire for what
I desire.
New York City,
I’m thinking of you.
