Lyrics
High rise apartments blanket the ground
Shadows on windows turning to brown
Lower Manhattan with a sunset ridge
Kind of used to the view
from Williamsburg Bridge
Vibrations from traffic tickle our feet
Hurrying homeward with mid-winter speed
Twinkling twilight in the East River mist
Hardly new to the view
from Williamsburg Bridge
Some folks like the Eiffel Tower
Some folks like to hike the China Wall
Some folks like the pyramids of Giza
But I believe we have it all
The echo of opera climbing the stairs
Keys on the counter, coats on the chairs
Watch from the window and a little kiss
Me and you in the view
from Williamsburg Bridge
Me and you in the view
from Williamsburg Bridge
