OFFICIAL 'Wake Up In Manhattan' Lyrics
Lit through the dark I see brown eyes all over me That studio on Perry Street hadn’t seen a spark like us Long were the nights of fall with that empire touch that said it all Pictures are in my heart to remind me how you love Everything that’s golden’s only shiny till it fades But I swear it now, you’re brighter than that town to me And I’m caught thinkin bout us and, I can’t stop wondering what if I’ll spend forever here dreamin’ let me wake up in Manhattan Take me to the city of lights and shine down on me like that first night As I lay me down here to sleep I’ll pray that I wake up back in bed with you again Let me wake up in Manhattan I never should’ve jumped so quick, but that walking on the pier just did me in And I can still taste your kiss it lingers on my tongue That night on the strip when you grabbed my hand and said “Oh I’ve never seen a smile like that” and yeah We were dancing on the edge of something I could call my home But everything that’s magic happens faster than the truth But this was not an act and if I could go back I’d show you I’m caught thinkin bout us and, I can’t stop wondering what if I’ll spend forever here dreamin’ let me wake up in Manhattan Take me to the city of lights and shine down on me like that first night As I lay me down here to sleep I’ll pray that I wake up back in bed with you again Let me wake up in Manhattan Regrets flood my mind oh why did I take that flight home Should’ve known I was leaving then the best thing I would ever miss Talk to me tell me please we’re ok Hanging on every word you say like crazy I’m caught thinkin bout us and, I can’t stop wondering what if I’ll spend forever here dreamin’ let me wake up And I’m caught thinkin bout us and, I can’t stop wondering what if I’ll spend forever here dreamin’ let me wake up in manhattan Take me to the city of lights and shine down on me like that first night As I lay me down here to sleep I’ll pray that I wake up back in bed with you again I’ll pray that I wake up back in your arms again Let me wake up in Manhattan
