Story Behind The Song
I wrote the verse riff first. The riff gave me the feeling of being in a NY city night club on a hot summer night filled with beautiful women. The chorus came last and brought in the idea that the story was happening in the past. I'd love to hear Bon Jovi do this song.

Lyrics
I see you in the corner of my vision
Or is that just a shadow on the wall
Our eyes connect and I can feel temptation
Crawling up inside I feel your call
Every move you make is like a dancer
And my resistance starts to lose control
My desire rises like a hunger
I feel a need that?s deep inside my soul
I need to meet you, I need to feel you
We talk awhile but all communication
Fails to satisfy what we both know
I?m lost inside your spell there?s no returning
I need you girl it?s time for us to go
I need to touch you, I need to hold you
(chorus)
New York City Girl I still remember
The night we loved so hard the walls came down
But you left me there in the blinding light of morning
I?ll never be the same
New York City girl what was your name
