i
love new york i always have
i especially love new york right as it
wakes up
the way the sun claws its way between
the cracks
and crevices of skyscrapers and
apartment buildings
and no building has yet been built
tall enough to scrape the sun out of the
sky
not even in new york
not yet
and what other city greets you with
watch where the you're going i love
it
new york just might be the only city
that loves humans
loves our mess loves our funk
and the fashion forget about it we don't
own
cars we own clothes stand clear of the
closing door
[Music]
you don't need a met gala to see new
yorkers turn a look that makes the whole
world change its course
[Music]
everyone knows that the dolls in
meatpacking invented the contoured beat
long before the kardashians keep up
[Music]
new york romans have the church
british have the queen new yorkers have
each other yelling we're a goddamn man
[Music]
and carry bradshaw learned as much from
kids on canal
as she did from tom ford
[Music]
and that's the truth ruth
but new york without new york
[Music]
who would have thunk it dark theaters
locked museums silent symphony
the next rush hour still months away
[Music]
these days this year i have still loved
new york
[Music]
new york love isn't brotherly it's
obsessive
ecstatic an electric current that made
you
grab your bags and uproot your life
new york is where you feel invincible
it's where you feel invisible
[Music]
the thing that understands you at your
worst
[Music]
but pushes you toward your best
i love new york
[Music]
oh
[Music]
uh
[Music]

[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
i love new york because
new york loves me
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you
