Dreaming Of Manhattan Lyrics
In my dreams we fly away from all the palm trees of this place and the smell of its decay
I can taste the clouds and my wings can carry me to your window
Where you will hold me in your arms and kiss me softly as you stroke my cheek
And say “Oh my angel, you hold my heart, I’ve been dreaming of you like you have me
Can you touch my skin and lay your kisses on my cheeks
And to Manhattan sweep me away?”
No more, no less
In pools of water after all the rain has left I see your gaze
No more, no less
I’m longing for a Neverland where I can make you oh so happy
In my dreams we fly away from all the pain and school bell rings
To a city that never sleeps and I can see you smile all day
And I can show you just how beautiful complications can be
From the roof top I can lean in close and whisper in your ear:
“Can you see, its not the same, the stars are spelling out your name”
And the moon can only frown because it will never be as beautiful as you
I’m dreaming of Manhattan
Dreaming of where we are so in love
I can make you oh so happy
I can taste the clouds and my wings can carry me to your window
Where you will hold me in your arms and kiss me softly as you stroke my cheek
And say “Oh my angel, you hold my heart, I’ve been dreaming of you like you have me
Can you touch my skin and lay your kisses on my cheeks
And to Manhattan sweep me away?”
In pools of water after all the rain has left I see your gaze
No more, no less
I’m longing for a Neverland where I can make you oh so happy
To a city that never sleeps and I can see you smile all day
And I can show you just how beautiful complications can be
From the roof top I can lean in close and whisper in your ear:
“Can you see, its not the same, the stars are spelling out your name”
And the moon can only frown because it will never be as beautiful as you
Dreaming of where we are so in love
I can make you oh so happy

Friggin great band, who should be more well known then they are. song seems to be about two people escaping from one place to get somewhere where they can love
the singer is from NY, but living in LA, CA.. so that could be the reason
good song. its sad they never play it anymore
this song rocks
This is also a GREAT sayanything song, this song is about a guy and girl , yes they live in cali and apparently they are sick of california and school and all of the complications, he just wants to go back to where he came from NY and he can show her a happier life there, and they can be together...happily ever after
i like to kinda think it's like an affair to remember you know.... they meet in manhattan and fall in love and he just wants to get back to that. i'm so wrong i know but it's still kinda sweet
