Morning comes crashing like a rock through a window

Sax man blowing shooting through my veins

There's a rhythm to the rocket that's intoxicating
[Chorus]

Goodnight New York, goodnight
F#
Don't ever close your eyes

If these streets could talk, "New York, New York"

Your face, your brains, no other place

From east to west, these streets are blessed
C#m E F#
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York

Goodnight
