Story Behind The Song
Written after I visited my older brother in New York in July of O5. I was captivated by the energy of the Big Apple, the World's Capital. Snoop Dogg and Frank Sinatra had their versions of a song for New York. This is mine.

Lyrics
V1 Arriving in New York in early July
And this feeling feels so fine, like I?m,
Sleeping and just dreaming in my mind
There?s just some things in the world you just can?t explain
Well New York is just the same, it remains, with you,
forever if you ever leave this place
PC Would?ve never had the best times of my life/If I/had never
C Took a plane to JFK in Queens
Crossed the Brooklyn Bridge overlooking dreams
Took a ferry to Staten Island
Rode the subways to the Bronx and back again
Now just to see what was happening
Up the many stories of Manhattan in
The corner of 5th and 34, 34
I Love NY
V2 Found strawberry fields in Central Park
Just before it got too dark, and I Imagined, me and Lennon
writing songs on my guitar
Lady liberty your torch shines in your hand
You made me understand/the feeling of this freedom for those people from other lands
PC
C
V3 On the subway, riding cars or on the bus
It was just the both of us, in love, roaming round the streets of NY getting lost in love
Roaming round the streets of NY getting lost in love
C
Coda: I miss new york,
So I took a plane to JFK in Queens
