Elton John Wouldn`t Have You Any Other Way (nyc) Lyrics

Wouldn`t Have You Any Other Way (nyc) Lyrics

I remember it like it was yesterday

Snow in the park and skaters on the
ice

Long black cars standing side-by-side

Loading up the boys at
night



Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind

Caught
an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights

Not something you'd see on a
New York street

It's such an uncommon sight



[chorus:]

But I wouldn't have it any other way

This city's got a thing about it,
don't try to understand it

New York City I'd really like to stay

New York City I wouldn't have you

I wouldn't have you any other way



Oh the subway rumbled underneath

Italian lights where Joey Gallo
died

And the man on the door down at 54's

Letting only the pretty
inside



I'd wake with a stranger under the covers

Late in the
day and longing for the night

Just like the snowfall there's so many
bodies

But somehow it feels so right



[repeat chorus]
