[Verse 1]
The big ship rocks, I sit alone,
only the bartender keeping me company.
Drunk in a golden haze, champagne in hand,
I’m an old soul drifting through New York.
Wind of your absence lifts my hair,
cigarette smoke veils my eyes.
Old wounds ache, my eyes cry…
Where has my happiness gone, waving from the past?
[Pre-Chorus]
The rocking ship, an embracing arm,
this is how we danced back then.
Old New York, Old Hollywood…
my heart always burned for you.
[Chorus / Refrén]
Oh Old New York, oh Old Hollywood,
Red carpets, wild romances, dreams in oblivion.
Take my hand, walk the bridge with me,
let the dance lead to a tender kiss.
Love, love, oh Old New York,
you live forever in my heart.
[Verse 2]
You don’t recognize me, my sweet…
your games tire me now.
Open the doors to the past,
past love rocking me each night.
I sit alone on the yacht,
bartender staring long and silent.
Lonely old love, come back, feel me…
Love, love, oh Old New York,
you exist within my heart.
[Chorus / Refrén]
Oh Old New York, oh Old Hollywood,
Red carpets, wild romances, dreams in oblivion.
Take my hand, walk the bridge with me,
let the dance lead to a tender kiss.
Love, love, oh Old New York,
you live forever in my heart.
[Outro]
A lonely yacht, a rocking night…
past love’s embrace holds me tight…
Oh Old New York, oh Old Hollywood…
forever burning in my heart.
