Don't ever let me take you for granted You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul Let me place a kiss in the small of your back Love and protect you from the evils of this world Oh baby don't ever leave me stranded Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold Well I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken There's nothing here 'til you have someone to hold I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air [Chorus:] You gotta shake me down Bring me 'round to my senses 'Til I'm lost and found And surround me with your senses If love wasn't here would we reinvent it? Oh take me down to the very root of my soul Oh baby say it as if you really mean it And feel the passion work it's way up through your skin I love you with all the joy of living 'Til the lights go down in New York City It's a special love affair And there's magic in the air [Chorus] Let me take you by the hand And we can go and find a brand new world Starlight - starbright Let me take you by the hand And lead you to a safe place in this world [Chorus x6]
