Skyline

Gina Young


You spill your colors over me 
You come in silver and gold and green 
But you're darker than you seem 
I am impatient as a child 
I want to see you go crazy wild 
But you just sit there and smile 

Tell me can you hear me 
(Hear me) 
Am I speaking clearly? 
I am saying I am really on your side 
If you don't believe me
(Leave me) 
I'll be in the passenger seat 
Watching as you drive 
I love to watch you drive 

'Cause your smile is the Manhattan skyline 
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline 
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline 
And I don't want to cry anymore 
I don't want to die anymore 

Those angry little business men 
Are thronging the dungeon streets of NYC 
They glare at you and me
As you drive by stopping to give them the finger again 
You rest your head against the wheel 
Say "Let's go anywhere but here" 
Traffic lights are mistle toe 
So I kiss you hard and say "Let's go!" 

Your smile is the Manhattan skyline
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline 
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline 
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline
Oh...

Tell me can you hear me
(Hear me) 
Am I speaking clearly? 
I am saying I am really on your side 
If you don't believe me
(Leave me) 
I'll be in the passenger seat 
Watching as you drive 
It's good to be alive 
And I'm alive, I'm alive 
You're alive, we're alive

Your smile is the Manhattan skyline
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline
Your smile is the Manhattan skyline
