Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

New York City Rhythm / On Broadway

It's the New York city rhythm

Runnin' through my life

The pounding beat of the city streets

That keeps my dreams alive

I'm lost, I'm found

I'm up, I'm down

But somehow I survive

It's got to be the New York city

Rhythm in my life

In my life

They say the neon lights are bright

On Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off

And you're nowhere

They say the women treat you fine

On Broadway

But lookin' at them

Just gives me the blues

'Cause how ya gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won't even

Shine your shoes

They say that I won't last too long

On Broadway

I'll catch a greyhound bus for home

They all say

But they're dead wrong, I know they are

They'll shout my name, from near and far

And I won't quit till I'm a star

On Broadway

On Broadway

On Broadway

On Broadway
