New York Walking in My Mind

Love in the time when we reach our golden years is sweeter than any time we grow on our tree of life. As seniors, we can share that joy outright so others struggling with their newer loves have hope to maintain through years of emotional trials so their love remains.
New York Walking in My Mind

Verse 1:
New York lights take me back to my first home.
Clouds above were far above not on the stones.
City sounds were symphonies both old and new,
Where the taxi drivers smiled when they were through.
Verse 2:
Skylines outlined golden memories
Of you within my arms
Our city stories yet untold
Free kisses burning
No alarm.
Windy streets where hearts were always bold
Side by side to find our summer love unfold.
Chorus:
All her lovely island castles
Bright memories to find----
All the loves I left behind---
Echoes of a golden time.
New York's rhythm still goes walking in my mind.
Bridge:
I’ve wandered far and wide this weary world alone,
Where fabled cobblestones weren’t made of solid gold.
My memories of New York’s Sunday soft cathedral bells
Brought me back to every corner where love once dwelled,
In the New York that goes walking in my mind.
Yes, the New York that goes walking in my mind.
