Sweet Manhattan Melody

Colin Buckley (C) 2003

New Yorker's drifting down Park Avenue

July blowing in the breeze

Bebop and bagel with your mornin' brew

Sweet Manhattan melody

Soft shoe shuffle at the shoe shine stand

Street sweeper singing harmony

Traffic cop waving like a one man band

Sweet Manhattan melody

I love to walk on Broadway late at night

That's when all the stars begin to shine

Blue horn wailin' til the early light

Blowin' "Georgia On My Mind"

Sky scraper reaching for the morning sun

Cab driver searching for a fee

Yes sir the city rhythm has begun

Sweet Manhattan melody

I love to walk on Broadway late at night

That's when all the stars begin to shine

Blue horn wailin' til the early light

Blowin' "Georgia On My Mind"

When I see the harbour lights I know I'll find

The "Torch Lady" waiting there for me

Feel it tearing at this heart of mine

Sweet Manhattan melody

Sweet Manhattan melody
