Follow the tail-lights into the city
Blinded by the love-light in your new love’s eyes
New York has never looked so pretty
Filigree of diamonds 'gainst a velvet sky ...

Tyres screaming down the FDR
Feel the pull of the traffic in the hot night air
There’s music playing, it's a saxophone
The hips that are swaying, you can follow them home

Heat rising from the paving stones
A song in your head that won't leave you alone;
The beat on the street, a sudden spark
Hungry hearts chasing hungry hearts ...

Follow the tail-lights into the city
Blinded by the love-light in your new love’s eyes
New York has never looked so pretty
Filigree of diamonds 'gainst a velvet sky ...

Kaleidoscope colours swirling in the haze
Ruby-red kisses in the urban maze
The pulse of jazz on the Summer street
A halo of light where the lovers meet ...

Follow the tail-lights into the city
Blinded by the love-light in your new love’s eyes
New York has never looked so pretty
Filigree of diamonds 'gainst a velvet sky ...
