Autumn in New York Why does it seem so inviting? Autumn in New York It spells the thrill of first-knighting Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds In canyons of steel They're making me feel I'm home It's autumn in New York That brings the promise of new love Autumn in New York Is often mingled with pain Dreamers with empty hands They sigh for exotic lands It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again This autumn in New York Transforms the slums into Mayfair Autumn in New York You'll need no castles in Spain Lovers that bless the dark On benches in Central Park It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again

Thanksgiving day's been put away And the final leaves have floated to the ground But landing on a bed of snow feels warm somehow We've said goodbye to all the friends and family we soon see again Go to sleep and wake up to the brand new scene Then suddenly Rockefeller's covered in the lights Families are playing on the ice From Harlem to the Battery (Ooh-ooh) Every corner's bustling Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Croquettes are warming up their kicks (Bum-bum-ba-la-la-la) Radio City sold out all of their tickets The windows on Fifth Avenue Are dressed up and they're telling you (Ooh) Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Find me on Broadway or at the ballet (Ooh) And I'm five years old again (Ooh) Making my wish list, but all I wish is (Ooh-ooh) For another Christmas in New York Oh, Santaland is ready to debut (Ooh) When Macy's is so packed, you can't get through (Ah) The kids are lined up everywhere, spilling out into the square (Ah) Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Taxi Take me straight to Central Park You've got it, lady Welcome to the Empire State building Rockefeller Center Oh my God Isn't the city beautiful? This way, ma'am Find me on Broadway or at the ballet And I'm five years old again Making my wish list, but all I wish is For another Christmas in New York Can you hear the church bells ring-a-ling? (Ring, ring, dong, ring) As the choirs do their caroling (Here we go caroling) The Saint Patties activity is something everyone should see (Ah, ah) It even makes the Grinch believe Central Park looks beautiful in white (Central Park looks beautiful in white) Cuddled up and meet the blanket, taking in the sides (Ah) The city is all red and green, wrapped up like a gift for me (Ah) Finally, it's Christmas in New York No, there's nothing that We should all have Christmas in New York

Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the brave And land of the free" You've had twenty wins and one save, Now you're up against me How can I keep control of my nerves? The way you wind-up When you throw me those curves? I hear him yell, "strike", And it's a good call It's so hard to keep my eyes on the ball On the baseball Love is just like baseball All it is is baseball Love is just like baseball You have played with me like a pawn For most of the night How'd you get your uniform on So perfectly tight? You strike me out twice I singled but died Then you made me pop up By sneakin' inside I'm gonna change that sneer to respect Make your eyes open wide When you feel connect to the baseball On the baseball Love is just like baseball All it is is baseball Love is just like baseball Here i am behind in the night The count 's 3 and 2 End the game like Beethoven's NINTH Is what I must do So now that we're here Alone in the dark I'm gonna send this Right out of the park If I was you i'd leave it alone 'Cause I'm tearin' round third Slidin' towards home Tearin' round third Slidin' towards home On the baseball Love is just like baseball All it is is baseball Love is just like baseball
