City lights are calling, Times Square in the rain,

Strangers in the crowd, but your eyes light up the pain.

Taxi's waiting, neon glow on your skin,

One evening in the Big Apple, where the night begins.

Heartbeats syncing to the subway hum,

Your whisper in the dark, like a secret drum.

New York fleeting night, under the Empire glow,

Bodies close in the moment, but the dawn steals the show.

Passion in the skyline, fire in your touch,

We danced in the shadows, but it's never quite enough.

Oh, New York, you thief of hearts, borrowing the night away,

A brief dance in the city that never sleeps, what a sweet delay.

Central Park at dawn, coffee on the stoop,

Your laugh echoes in alleys, but the thrill's in the loop.

Subway confessions, rooftop whispers so sweet,

But the morning light comes, and we're back on the street.

Was it fate or just the rush of the town?

Your scent on my shirt, but you're already gone.

New York fleeting night (fleeting night!), under the Empire glow (Empire glow!),

Bodies close in the moment (close!), but the dawn steals the show (steals the show!).

Passion in the skyline (skyline!), fire in your touch (your touch!),

We danced in the shadows (shadows!), but it's never quite enough (never enough!).

Oh, New York, you thief of hearts, borrowing the night away (night away!),

A brief dance in the city that never sleeps (never sleeps!), what a sweet delay (sweet delay!).

New York... fleeting night... fading away...
