    [Verse 1]

    I have lived

    And I have seen

    Manhattan mornings

    Come and go

    And I have watched

    Central Park

    Like I'm watching from above

    And I have known

    The cityscape

    From 5 o'clock AM

    To quarter of 8

    And I have felt

    Lives come and go

    Like pedestrians

    Through the fog

    [Chorus]

    And Manhattan mornings

    When sunrise sears the skies

    When people wake alone

    And forgotten why they cry

    Manhattan mornings

    When we all retreat to our dreams

    When love was always last night

    A pedestrian through the fog

    [Verse ]

    And I have sat

    And waited for the sun

    To rise

    Today

    To bring a new beginning

    To the city's waking shadows

    Like pedestrians

    Through the fog

    [Chorus]

    Manhattan mornings

    When sunrise sears the skies

    When people wake alone

    And forgotten why they cry

    Manhattan mornings

    When we all retreat to our dreams

    When love was always last night

    A pedestrian through the fog

    [Verse 3]

    Hear the rain

    And see it wash

    The beggars

    Through the drains

    And feel the cars

    Flowing over

    The lonely streets

    Turn to rivers

    And I have felt

    Lives come and go

    Like pedestrians

    Through the fog

    [Chorus]

    Manhattan mornings

    When sunrise sears the skies

    When people wake alone

    And forgotten why they cry

    Manhattan mornings

    When we all retreat to our dreams

    When love was always last night

    A pedestrian through the fog

Manhattan mornings.
When sunrise sears the skies.
When people wake alone
And forgotten why they cry.

Manhattan mornings.
When we all retreat to our dreams.
When love was always last night.
A pedestrian through the fog.
— Chorus
