Marathon
copyright 2004: Stephen O’Reilly
The Marathon was runnin’
The city’s on a high and everyone keeps comin’
Cheering in the cold, but what is cold when you are huggin’
Everybody knows the City’s getting’ some lovin’
We would walk 66th street
Your hand was in my back pant pocket… a real treat
Corduroys the day and everyone was "Rocker"
I love it when you say you "love me"
Like it’s a shocker
We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city’s yours and mine
There is a saying they say sometimes
"You life is just a day"
and, if that’s so, they must have dreamt mine.
I’m holding out my hand.
You take my hand for the taking.
I even made you laugh at all those bad jokes I was making.
I swear let this day keep coming true.
I’m falling in love along First Avenue.
It’s never been me, but babe I think I’ve arrived
I need you with me to make my city alive.
We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city’s yours and mine
Can this be the same city that I bemoan?
Can this be the same city where I was alone?
Can this be? Or is this from Heaven up above?
Can it be? I found my "present" in new love
Oh please!
Pretty please!
Oh yea, we are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this City’s yours and mine
We are finally
A chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this City’s yours and mine
