New York City can be so pretty
  From a bird's eye view
  Because up there
  Yeah, that's where I first kissed you
  A modern day romance
  A perfect performance
  Acting like two fools
  Saying silly things
  Whisper sweet nothings
  Live young lovers only do
    I was shaking
  You were breathtaking
  Like the Empire State
  My voice was so far
  Not quite Sinatra
  Singing songs so great
  The clock struck one
  The night still very young
  In the city that never sleeps
  Then a whirlwind blew
  When I first kissed you
  nearly swept me
  Swept me off my feet
    When I first kissed you
  That's when I knew
  I was in love
    Because up there
  Yeah, that's where
  I first kissed you
