The moonlight loved to see her face
So it danced along the smile she made
I knew the sun was on its way
So I begged the moon to slow its pace
If this night should end and fade out I should tell her
That I loved her on the same day that I found her
That night in New York City still gets louder
I've been chasing all the sounds that we left out there
The streetlights still get jealous that I found you first
The pavement still knows all the steps that we rehearsed
Let's go back to where we fell in love
The memory is waiting there for us
We were running barefoot in the streets
Like a dance to no specific beat
Did we craft a love we couldn't keep?
I feel a permanence in this concrete
Then I saw a shadow growing on the sidewalk
The sun returned for what the moon had borrowed
In the morning light would New York City know us?
Would it pave over the footsteps that we'd stolen?
The streetlights still get jealous that I found you first
The pavement still knows all the steps that we rehearsed
Let's go back to where we fell in love
The memory is waiting there for us
And the moonlight misses you
The moonlight misses you
Take my hand, don't you let it go
This star lit night lives in your soul
But as the light comes in are we losing sight of it?
Take my hand don't you let it go
This star lit night lives in your soul
I promise I won't lose the sight of you
The streetlights still get jealous that I found you first
The pavement still knows all the steps that we rehearsed
Let's go back to where we fell in love
The memory is waiting there for us
And the moonlight misses you
The moonlight misses you
