Once Upon a Time in New York City - Los Menudines, Alfredo Kraus

Now it’s always once upon a time, in New York City

It’s a big old, bad old, tough old town, it’s true

But beginnings are contagious there

They’re always setting stages there

They’re always turning pages there for you

Ain’t it great the way it all begins in New York City

Right away, you’re making time, and making friends

No one cares where you were yesterday

If they pick you out, you’re on your way

To a once upon a time that never ends

So Oliver, don’t be shy

Get out there and go and try

Believin' that you’re the guy

They’re dying to see

'Cause a dream’s no crime

Not once upon a time

Once upon a time in New York City

If it’s always once upon a time in New York City

Why does nightfall leave you feeling so alone

How could any one stay starry-eyed

When it’s raining cats and dogs outside

And the rain has said «now you’re on your own»

So Oliver don’t be scared

Though yesterday no one cared

They’re getting your place prepared

Where you want to be

Keep your dream alive

Dreaming is still how the strong survive

Once upon a time in New York City

Keep your dream alive

Dreaming is still how the strong survive

Once upon a time in New York City

Keep your dream alive

Dreaming is still how the strong survive

Once upon a time in New York City

And it’s always once upon a time, in New York City
