Lyrics
Somewhere out there is a city that sleeps, a city that keeps its promise
to never forget, well you forgot me,
Oh Manhattan, remember me if you can
Someday we'll walk by each other and look in the eyes of one another
But we won't say hi and we won't know why, I thought we were the same inside
Oh Manhattan, you can remember me if you try
When I was younger, I had a lot of anger
I turned a lot of people off, paid no mind to the cost
Oh Manhattan,
With your crying kids and your taxi cabs
With your cut throat odds and your back stabs
With your closed door plans and your alley schemes
The final resting place of every thinking man's dreams
Oh Manhattan, I'm tired of losing sleep
Somewhere out there is a city that sleeps, a city that keeps its promise
To never forget, well you forgot me,
Oh Manhattan, you gave me a place to put it
You gave me a chance to get through it
Oh Manhattan
