lyrics

I can hear so many sights,
Not a sun but there's still so much light,
A small speck of green that can glow up the night,
Christmas in Manhattan.

I can feel all the wrongs in the rights,
I can see all the late running flights,
Plastic boys and girls are going to fight,
Christmas in Manhattan.

I'll buy the world a coke that I see in the sky,
We'll drink it up, yet we'll still feel hopelessly dry.
We'll watch our favorite stories play for hours on end,
Hear the caroling die as the commercial begins.

We made the time, but it still feels so long,
So here's a newer, but far sadder song.
Don't need no gift, I just want to belong,
Christmas in Manhattan.

I'll shop for some peace, I'll shop for a heart,
I'd shop for a future, but where would I start?
Our eyes on the windows, but not on the stars...

Christmas in Manhattan.
