Look through the dark I see
Brown eyes all over me
That studio on Perry Street
Hadn't seen a spark like us
Long were the nights of Fall
With that Empire touch
That said it all
Pictures are in my heart
To remind me how you look
Everything that's golden's
Only shiny til it fades
But I swear it now
You're brighter than that town
To me
And I'm caught, thinkin' 'bout us
And I can't stop, wonderin' what if
And I'll spend forever here dreamin'
Let me wake up in Manhattan
Take me to the city of lights
And shine down on me
Like that first night
As I lay me down here to sleep
I'll pray that I wake up
Back in bed with you again
Let me wake up in Manhattan
I never should've
Jumped so quick, uh-uh
But that walking on the pier
Just did me in
And I can still taste your kiss
It lingers on my tongue
And the night on the strip
When you grabbed my hand
Said, oh I've never
Seen a smile like that, yeah
We were dancin' on
The edge of somethin'
I could call my home
Everything that's magic
Happens faster than the truth
But this was not an act
And if I could go back
I'd show you
I'm caught, thinkin' 'bout us
And I can't stop, wonderin' what if
And I'll spend forever here dreamin'
Let me wake up in Manhattan
Take me to the city of lights
And shine down on me
Like that first night
As I lay me down here to sleep
I'll pray that I wake up
Back in bed with you again
Let me wake up in Manhattan
Regrets fill my mind, oh
Why did I take that ride home
Should've known I was leavin' then
The best thing I would ever miss
Talk to me, tell me please
We're OK
Haning on to every word you say
Like crazy
I'm caught, thinkin' 'bout us
And I can't stop, wonderin' what if
And I'll spend forever here dreamin'
Let me wake up
Woah-oh
I'm caught, thinkin' 'bout us
And I can't stop, wonderin' what if
And I'll spend forever here dreamin'
Let me wake up in Manhattan
Take me to the city of lights
And shine down on me
Like that first night
As I lay me down here to sleep
I'll pray that I wake up
Back in bed with you again
And I'll pray that I wake up
Back in your arms again
Just let me wake up in Manhattan
