New York, Never Sleeps

[Verse 1]
Oh little town of Bethlehem, Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep, A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark, There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne, And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Oh little town of Jerusalem, Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son, The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
United States of America, Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies, That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark, There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned, And has carried His bride away in the night

[Chorus]
It's the light of the Blue Moon, that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, see it's the Blue Moon that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, it looks like the Sun won't move away from New York City
New York, Never Sleeps, we want some sleep, so please Sun will you spare us from this period of sleepless days?
New York, Never Sleeps, New York, Never Sleeps

[Verse 2]
I don't care what they say, I know this is right
Because I feel it deep in my heart, They say we're young and wild
And we should wait for a while, But nothing's gonna keep us apart
But I don't think we're living in sin, So we can't give up, we can't give in
Because our love is strong, and it can't be wrong, Oo and it feels so right
Now just let me sleep, I don't wanna talk, have nothing nice to say
I'm just sleeping in your hand, don't wake me up too soon
I don't want to see the world, I need to be no one, all I want is just to be
we can be so strange, we can be so wild
even when we love, even when we lie

[Chorus]
It's the light of the Blue Moon, that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, see it's the Blue Moon that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, it looks like the Sun won't move away from New York City
New York, Never Sleeps, we want some sleep, so please Sun will you spare us from this period of sleepless days?
New York, Never Sleeps, New York, Never Sleeps

[Verse 3]
please just let me float, nothing matters less than time
my thoughts are so remote, your hand is open wide
Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can't hear what he's saying
When I wake up early in the morning, Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream, Stay in bed, float up stream
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am , I'm only sleeping

[Chorus]
It's the light of the Blue Moon, that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, see it's the Blue Moon that gives us the power to stay wide awake
New York, Never Sleeps, it looks like the Sun won't move away from New York City
New York, Never Sleeps, we want some sleep, so please Sun will you spare us from this period of sleepless days?
New York, Never Sleeps, New York, Never Sleeps
