[Hook] New York City is the loneliest town Unless you happen to be lost in L.A But nothing matters much When you're not around Long nights, hold on Long nights, hold on [Verse] I've been a traveler And I've lived in a cave It doesn't matter When there's someone who cares But you're alone now And you've got to be brave Long nights, hold on Long nights, hold on [Bridge] Why am I awake at night? What good does it do Close my eyes and all I see is you [Hook] But New York City is a happening town And L.A. still can wear a smile on her face Wait till morning and you turn it around Long nights, hold on Long nights, hold on [Bridge] Why am I awake at night? What good does it do Close my eyes and all I see is you [Hook] But New York City can be happy at times You only need to have somebody you love Give me love and I'm doing just fine Long nights, hold on Long nights. hold on Long nights, hold on Long nights, hold on
