New York City is the loneliest town
  Unless you happen to be lost in L.A.
  But nothing matters much
  When you’re not around
  Long nights, hold on
  Long nights, hold on
  
  I’ve been a traveler
  And I’ve lived in a cave
  It doesn’t matter
  When there’s someone who cares
  But you’re alone now
  And you’ve got to be brave
  Long nights, hold on
  Long nights, hold on
  
  Why am I awake at night?
  What good does it do
  Close my eyes and all I see is you
  
  But New York City is a happening town
  And L.A. still can wear a smile on her face
  Wait till morning and you turn it around
  Long nights, hold on
  Long nights, hold on
  
  Why am I awake at night?
  What good does it do
  Close my eyes and all I see is you
  
  But New York City can be happy at times
  You only need to have somebody you love
  Give me love and I’m doin’ just fine
  Long nights, hold on
  Long nights. hold on
  Long nights, hold on
  Long nights, hold on
