Something like a movie

We were both wide awake in the city that doesn’t sleep
Carrying those cell phone cameras hoping that they would keep
The memory of us being there in case we should ever forget
It was nearly the end of November and it wasn’t even freezing yet
It was like something like a movie
In Times Square in New York City
And as usual Broadway was lit up really pretty
But amongst the thousands there was only you and me

We knew it was time to go home but we didn’t go home
Instead like tigers through that concrete jungle we continued to roam
Until we found our shelter in an Irish bar
And sometimes it takes a miracle to find out who you really are
It was like something like a movie
In Times Square in New York City
And as usual Broadway was lit up really pretty
But amongst the thousands there was only you and me

It is the greatest city in the world
When you are walking down Broadway with your girl
Blind to every tourist that you won’t meet
All the way to 42nd street
Which is where we did go
But just before we went below
To catch the R train
You said, “I got to go back to Spain”

And as we walked to the subway
You said, “I got to go and I can’t stay”
“I got to go home now faraway”
“But we will meet again someday”

Then the night that shouldn’t have ended, finally came to an end
But when we hugged I whispered to you, “I will find you again”
Now at night when I lay in bed I thank God that I even met her
Storybook love in New York City and you couldn’t have scripted it better
It was like something like a movie
In Times Square in New York City
And as usual Broadway was lit up really pretty
But amongst the thousands there was only you and me
But now you are gone and that is just the way it has to be
But still in my heart I am preserving your memory
But that night was something like a movie
