Wouldn't changed a single word
  Or touch a single note
  Of those old songs those New York Songs
  Of love that we once wrote
  And though it hurts now we're apart
  And different dreams pursue
  Fragments of those songs remain
  In whispered shades of blue
  
  Old Manhattan melodies
  Echo through my broken heart and call me back to you
  Old Manhattan melodies . . .
  Why Oh why the echoes cry I only wish I knew
  
  Lighthouse shine in Quarter time
  And guide me from this coast
  In case I run around once more
  And meet you or your ghost
  I 'ver tried I can't turn back the clock
  Your ships too long at sea
  A dream the river stole away
  Oh Misty Melody ...
  
  Old Manhattan melodies . . .
  Echo through my aching heart and tell me you're still true
  Old Manhattan melodies
  Why Oh why the whole world cries I only wish I knew
  
  Old Manhattan melodies .. .
  Every note a memory some happy and some blue
  Old Manhattan melodies . . .
  Whisper through my lonely heart and call me back to you.
