NEW YORK SKYLINE

Garland Jeffreys' original version

Baby G, vaudeville queen
She looked the rave of town in the night
I know I'm gonna miss my baby G
'Cause she treats me oh so right
But the New York skyline it's calling me home tonight
Female, feline, feminine, she's been making my world so right

Hindsight, foresight
Sometimes we got no sight at all
New love, true love
Sometimes we got no love at all
But the New York skyline it's calling me home tonight
Female, feline, feminine, she's been making my world so right

New York skyline
New York skyline
I can see those city lights
New York skyline
And I can feel those neon signs
New York skyline
Bright lights, big city
New York skyline
Then it must be modern time
New York skyline
This must be modern time
New York skyline
Then it must be modern time
New York skyline
New York skyline
