New York City Christmas
c 2005
Benita Kenn/Marybeth Brande

Oh the city is hushed with a dusting of snow
The shops are all locked up tight
The people who rushed all day to and fro
Are home for a silent night

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
All of the seasons wishes
Every girl and every boy
Merry New York City Christmas
Merry New York City

Oh the city is blessed with the best and the bright
The still of good will again
The city is cursed with the worst of the plight
Of hungry and homeless women and men
Hungry and homeless children

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
All of the seasons wishes
Every girl and every boy
Merry New York City Christmas
Merry New York City

In the heart of a darkened cabaret
A man with an angel’s voice
Sings for us a child is born was born this day
Oh come let us rejoice

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
All of the seasons wishes
Every girl and every boy
Merry New York City Christmas
Merry New York City
