The View From Here (Riverwalk)

The city is sparkling with twinkling lights

It's one of those magic, Manhattan-y nights

Can't tell what comes next, he's sure takin' it slow

But he's holding my hand and he's not letting go

He's goofy, he's tall, he's got a good heart

But I don't wanna fall and have it all fall apart

I look in his eyes and they keep saying, "Leap and the net will appear"

So, why not dive in 'cause a brand new beginning feels long overdue

That's the view from here

That's the view from here

How wet are my armpits? How red is my face?

When I used to date, holding hands was third base

I think there's a spark, could this thing become real?

Could it possibly be that she might feel like I feel?

This woman's as kind as a human could be

So why would she wind up with someone like me?

And what if we find out in time maybe I'm that same jerk, like I fear?

'Cause the man that I see could so easily be just a Scrooge déjà vu

That's the view from here

That's the view from here

Maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right

'Cause tonight it's so perfectly clear

Somehow I see who I could be, just being with you

That's the view from here

That's the view from here
