Lyrics

From My Balcony
(Al Collinsworth, 2003)

Walking down East 53rd towards 7th Avenue
Times Square lights are bright but lost in the night.
From my balcony I see, you've turned your lights on for me.
I wonder if this town can keep me alive one more day?

Children were playing in the park last night
Five fountain lanterns were blazing cutting the scene
From my balcony I see the lights are falling on me.

Watching all the crowds go by chasing someone else's dream
Winding down a summer day I know I'll remember when,
I was only 17 when I first saw your face,
The concrete and the harbor lights and the thrill of your fast pacce.

Crosstown traffic, subway, bus window to my world
I miss your style, your starry eyes, but you're gone again.
I'm on my way, back to the arms where I want to stay.
