New York Lyrics

Take my hand and hold it tight
She spoke of a tragedy tonight
Nothing but questions fill my mind
Will this be the end or will we survive
Take my hand

I don't understand why
All these tears come with laughter
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you

We met on a train that was New York bound
Her voice sounded scared and her hair was down
One day she left without saying goodbye
She left just a letter that didn't say why
It said hold on
(hold on)
It said hold on
(hold on)
Remember me

I don't understand why
All these tears come with laughter
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you

She said remember me, remember me
Hold on to memories, remember me
Hold on
To memories, to memories

I don't understand why
All these tears come with laughter
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you
I don't understand why
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love

A Song For Us (We Really Are)

Take my hand and hold it tight
She spoke of a tragedy tonight
Nothing but questions fill my mind
Will this be the end or will we survive
Take my hand

I don't understand why 
All these tears come with laughter 
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you

We met on a train that was New York bound
Her voice sounded scared and her hair was down
One day she left without saying goodbye
She left just a letter that didn't say why
It said hold on
(hold on)
It said hold on
(hold on)
Remember me

I don't understand why 
All these tears come with laughter 
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you

She said remember me, remember me
Hold on to memories, remember me
Hold on
To memories, to memories

I don't understand why 
All these tears come with laughter 
And love makes you cry
When years get you down,
Let days pick you up
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love you
I don't understand why
'Cause life's a disaster with no one to love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
