New York City Lyrics

New York City, a city so great
Her pride, her beauty so pure
Her birth of my soul, so honest, so strong
Her mecca - How I adore

As a child I remember her dark alleyways
Where we learned how to fight
And we learned to be brave

We played handball all day and kissed girls at nightRoger Miret And The Disasters - New York City - http://motolyrics.com/roger-miret-and-the-disasters/new-york-city-lyrics.html
Fought off rival gangs
How we were so alive

I grew older and watched the neighborhood change
I saw my friends perish
To ruthless violent ends

I remember just yesterday's city streetlights
Where the boys hung all night
And the gang fought with pride - In New York City...
