Every night, around midnight
the lights go off on the Manhattan Bridge
I see it from my window
For a second then I go to bed
I like to fall asleep
to the sounds of the freeway
hear it hummin'
like a distant train
as I go dreaming from the heart
dreaming from the heart of New York
I remember when I came here
it was cold, I barely knew a soul
8th Avenue in Harlem
the bitter wind chilled my bones
Some nights felt so lonely
so sad I couldn't cry
but lookin' back
it felt so great to be alive
and dreaming from the heart
dreaming from the heart of New York
My sons were born here
and it's here they'll learn to use their feet
to stumble through the channels
of their souls on these streets
When I think back
I still get tears in my eyes
when i drove cross that bridge
for the first time
