Good Night, New York
Lyricist:Julie R Gold
My mother came to America Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams Back in the Thirties with the streets paved in gold And the sky laced with moonbeams Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons Here in the free world, we're the lucky ones
All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York
Before the Kennedy's, before the Beatles Before the Vietnam War Back to a time when anything was possible Having less meant knowing more Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts Here in the free world, for that second chance
All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York
My mother came to America She sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams And here in her future, I hope I've not failed her 'Cause nothings the way that it seems
All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York
