Beautiful City

Just when there was good reason to travel no more Just when it was opportune to turn and go back Just when there was a good chance to give up and give in I saw you and approached a city of no lack Your lights are all on so colorful and bright Your buildings so tall, your libraries so deep Your streets are all clean and lead me throughout Straight to your heart where I wish for no sleep I feel so alive since I’ve breathed in your air I feel so free and comfortable and new I feel like I’ve known your gates for so long That home feels like that special place with you

That couldn't be Manhattan! LOL THis again has a terrific flow to it and your use of imagery is wonderful as it tells the story not only with words but with vision. Very well written. Michael
