[Verse 1]
New York City
Can be so pretty
From a bird's eye view
Because up there
Yeah, that's where I first kissed you

[Chorus]
A modern day romance
A perfect performance
Acting like two fools
Saying silly things
Whisper sweet nothings
Like young lovers only do

[Verse 2]
I was shaking
You were breathtaking
Like the Empire State
My voice was so far
Not quite Sinatra
Singing songs so great

[Chorus]
The clock struck one
The night still very young
In the city that never sleeps
Then a whirlwind blew
When I first kissed you
Nearly swept me
Swept me off my feet
[Outro]
When I first kissed you
That's when I knew
Oh, I was in love

Because up there
Yeah, that's where
I first kissed you
