Lyrics

[Verse 1]
New York City can be so pretty
From a bird's eye view
Because up there, yeah, that's where
I first kissed you
[Verse 2]
A modern day romance
A perfect performance
Actin' like two fools
Sayin' silly things
Whisper sweet nothings
Like young lovers only do
[Verse 3]
I was shakin' you were breathtaking
Like the Empire State
My voice was so far, not quite Sinatra
Singin' songs so great
[Verse 4]
The clock struck one
The night still very young
In the city that never sleeps
Then a whirlwind blew
When I first kissed you
Nearly swept me, swept me off my feet
[Verse 5]
When I first kissed you
That's when I knew, oh
I was in love
[Verse 6]
Because up there
Yeah that's where
I first kissed you
