Graham McGregor-Smith - The First Time (I Saw New York)

Do you recall
The first time you caught sight
Of the love of your life?
I remember that first time like it was yesterday
The Empire State lights
Burned so bright,
Overwhelming the night,
And danced 'til dawn
On the Hudson's inky waters
Do you recall
That moment
When you knew
You were hers
For the rest of your days?
Oh, in so many ways
Wherever you stay
Whatever the season
The rhyme or the reason
Whenever I come in to port
I remember that first time
I saw New York
Was it the hollers and honkers
From Brooklyn to Yonkers
Bagel stands or bright Yellow Cabs?
Was it the hucksters and hustlers
Or just how they'll cuss ya
If ever you give them a chance?
Oh, whatever the season
The rhyme or the reason
Whenever I come in to port
I remember that first time
I remember that first time
I remember that first time
I saw New York
