Barry Manilow - New York City Rhythm lyrics

When my heart is torn apart

by love I wish I had,

Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights

and things don't seem so bad.

Ya know the movement seems to soothe me,

and the tempo takes control,

and I lose my blues

when the New York City rhythm fill my soul

It's the New York City rhythm

runnin' thru' my life,

the pounding beat of the city streets

that keeps my dreams alive.

I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down,

but somehow I survive.

It's got to be the New York City

rhythm in my life,

It's got to be the New York City

rhythm in my life, in my life.

When I'm out for love or sin,

Oh, it's good to be in town,

In the funky dives on the old west side

there's always somethin' goin' down.

Oh yes , I live my life with strangers,

and the danger's always there,

but when I hit Broadway and it's time to play,

ya know that I don't care

It's the New York City rhythm

runnin' thru' my life,

the pounding beat of the city streets

that keeps my dreams alive.

I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down,

but somehow I survive.

It's got to be the New York City

rhythm in my life,

It's got to be the New York City

rhythm in my life, in my life.
