Simon & Garfunkel - A Heart In New York Lyrics






New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door
New York, lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark

New York, like a scene from all those movies
But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart
A heart that lives in New York

A heart in New York, a rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
A heart in New York, love in her eye, an open door at a friend for the night

New York, you got money on your mind
And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York

    M.... E....

    Me, too.

    M.... E....

    @Alexis mega pro gamer 97 wonderful!

  10. m.... m....

    I saw Simon and Garfunkel at Jazzfest in 2009 -- Garfunkel told the crowd this was the only complete song he had ever written totally by himself.

  11. s.... ....

    Just fantastic and brilliant

  12. m.... m....

    **Tanks**I'LOVE... IT... THE BEST...🌹🌹🌹

  13. K.... G....

    His voice is like a choirboy.....what incredible depth! Cant get enough of the song. The album itself was dedicated partly to his late girlfriend Laurie Bird.

  14. A.... m....

    I love you, deeply!!!

  15. S.... R....

    This song, the performance, encapsulates everything I feel about nyc. Life outside nyc feels like life in exile :/. (Thanks Artie).

  16. P.... W....

    Listen, kids ... no auto-tune. Art just opens his gob and out comes ... *perfection*

  17. A.... C....

    Bellissima

  18. P.... ....

    Magical! ❤️

  19. T.... Q....

    Mi canción favorita de S & G.

  20. J.... ....

    I wish these guys would go on tour one last time AND that tickets were affordable. I grew up on these tunes & love every one of them!

  21. o.... ....

    This has 670k views in 3 years, while some kids post nonsense and get millions of views in a day, let that sink in....

  22. W.... S....

    I was there the night before my 19th Birthday 🎂 day, I’m 58 now...visiting from Long Island

  23. S.... G....

    Que que voces achar simon garfunkel

  24. S.... G....

    Eu adoro ver simon garfunkel eu adoro ver videos deles

  25. j.... l....

    Beautifull

  26. M.... ....

    I'm 63 yrs old. I'm sitting here just wanting to hear one particular Simon & Garfunkle song (American Tune) ... over an hour later I'm still sitting here, now with a tear running down my cheek. So, so, so much water under the bridge since I first heard the music of these fabulous artists. To those of more recent generations, please cherish these sounds and keep them alive, for the sake of the art.

    M.... ....

    We will ❤

  27. J.... ....

    *Even thought our nation was dealing with "Tricky Dick Nixon" & the draft during the time this tune was popular, America seemed like a better, kinder, less complicated & more honest as a nation. God willing, America will survive the "Trump Years", and we can get back to a better - more accepting nation.... Great music. Great memories.*

  28. E.... T....

    The sad thing is with so many crap distractions our children will never loose them selves in the beauty of such music. Too many other hideous games . Oh I cry for there lose.

  29. S.... G....

    This guys voice is something else.Very very underrated

  30. I.... L....

    Et si tout etait beau comme cette chanson ?......

  31. R.... G....

    Beautiful!

  32. M.... B....

    They both have quite a bit of makeup on and it really shows in this clip.

  33. Y.... R....

    The greatest in terms of leaving hallmark grandeur.................

  34. E.... d....

    gosto muito dete som tenho em vinil discoi duplo breve nos veremos

  35. m.... m....

    **I'LOVE IT** ... SoooOOOooo... wonderFUL and PERFEcT... THANKs...

  36. R.... L....

    A classic. Greetings from India.

  37. H.... L....

    Amoooooo Garfunkel ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏

  38. A.... S....

    Paul makes beautiful songs and Art turns them in extremely sweet melodies , what a couple!

    A.... S....

    I think Art Garfunkel wrote the lyrics on this song.

    A.... S....

    written by Lyle/Gallagher from Scotland

  39. M.... ....

    This song was in America’s next top model and that’s how I found it 😂😂

  40. J.... B....

    I love this song thanks for this video and thanks art for the beautiful voice wow so amazing

  41. M.... R....

    Yessssssss

  42. H.... L....

    Garfunkel ❤❤❤❤

  43. H.... L....

    Eu te amo Garfunkel...saudades dessas músicas maravilhosas

  44. A.... P....

    Muito Linda essa música

  45. d.... s....

    Garfunkle was my favourite... Simon's book convinced me I was'nt wrong in choice... pity they cld'nt have put aside petty stuff & just worked together... Ego can be an awful thing... Garfunkle had ethereal voice... almost angelic.... together .... WOW!

  46. G.... A....

    The song shows me the hypocrisy of New York City now you got big bird running it which makes it even worse can you find a better person to run New York City what the hell ever happened in New York after Giuliani was there it went to hell

  47. M.... A....

    Sempre stupenda!!!!

  48. M.... ....

    I just read the Paul Simon biography, and it said that Paul insisted Artie wear a hairpiece for the concert and that first he resisted but wound up wearing one. If he is, then I must be a damn good one cause I don't see it.

  49. J.... T....

    Which of you 45 numbskulls downvoted this?

  50. A.... N....

    There was something supernatural about them both that night.

  51. D.... L....

    Probably my favorite on the album

  52. M.... S....

    So Pure So Beautiful.. 💕 (+_+)

  53. K.... S....

    Artie’s voice is an angel walking the earth

    K.... S....

    So very true! Karen, where are you from? Steve in Vermont, USA

    K.... S....

    ALL OF US!!

  54. S.... B....

    I went to this concert the week I moved to NYC. Birth of a lifelong New Yorker that night.

    S.... B....

    Amazing

    S.... B....

    A history in the making my friend

    S.... B....

    @Michael West 19 September 1981 - hard to believe it's been nearly 40 years.

  55. i.... n....

    Amor maior...

  56. A.... R....

    The song is on Art's 1981 release SCISSORS CUT. He said this was almost the only song in the set was not a Paul Simon one,musically or lyrically.

  57. S.... N....

    So love this song

  58. m.... ....

    I own this DVD and everytime he says: Look down on Central Park. "I cry"

  59. r.... p....

    The lyric should be " an open door an a friend for life"

    r.... p....

    You don't know NY !

  60. C.... N....

    Love so much music of Simon and Garfunkel,Oldies but Goldie’s that me saying

  61. C.... E....

    if t here's a better tribute to the Big Apple, I have not heard it and yeah I hear ya Frank

    C.... E....

    Apple of my Eye - Damien Dempsey. I'm not saying it's better, but worth a listen.

  62. R.... K....

    Simon and Garfunkel graduated from Queen's College...Bravo!

    R.... K....

    Nope only Simon did. Garfunkel went to Columbia.

  63. R.... K....

    New Yorker here!

  64. J.... H....

    I am so sad listening to this great song - what is happening to the once great USA???

    J.... H....

    The USA always were and will be great.

    J.... H....

    I feel the same way. I am wistful and nostalgic for what NYC used to be. I cannot accept what it is right now.

    J.... H....

    Messed up by politicians....

  65. C.... M....

    Chills.

  66. F.... J....

    Me emociona poder escuchar esta canción en directo, con el propio Art, el próximo 14 de julio en Barcelona !!!

  67. P.... W....

    what a great song, and the guitars, mind blowing

  68. V.... N....

    Can't stop looking to his eyes. Its shining !!!

  69. T.... B....

    So clever, the way Art sings 'heart' and the background melody picks up the heartbeat! ❤

  70. T.... B....

    As I listen to this, I imagine Art and Paul busking on the streets (sidewalks) of London. As a child we had family in North London, so were regular visitors. Perhaps we passed them, put money in their collection box. I do hope so ❤ xxx

    T.... B....

    Great song I love Nyc!!😊

  71. A.... J....

    A 20 anos atras e ate hoje vejo....show

    M.... ....

    Justin Bieber's fan

  78. N.... R....

    Great song and performance!

  79. M.... M....

    You're right🎈

  80. K.... M....

    D, the son is at the comp all night. That's the reason I couldn't be with you, I hate it(not being with you). But our love is strong. Won't be broken, will it?

  81. K.... M....

    D, New York doesn't mean anything to me. It's this song about it that i love

  82. S.... J....

    I can hear it 200 million times and still not get enough of it! Love this song!

    S.... J....

    Sandra Jollie totally agree. Stunning!

    S.... J....

    i just heard it for the 201 millionth time and still can't get enough of it! Love this song!

    S.... J....

    But it doesn’t even have a million views...

    S.... J....

    Their music will always be timeless! God they where good!!!

  83. L.... M....

    Sharing the song "New York" that was recorded live in Central Park, New York City, September 19, 1981. Simon & Garfunkel: The Concert In Central Park.   Moving to say the least after 9.11.

  84. L.... N....

    New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door
    New York, lookin' down on Central Park
    Where they say you should not wander after dark
    New York, like a scene from all those movies
    But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart
    A heart that lives in New York
    A heart in New York, a rose on the street
    I write my song to that city heartbeat
    A heart in New York, a love in her eye, an open door and a friend for the night
    New York, you got money on your mind
    And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York

    L.... N....

    Elton John

    L.... N....

    I believe that he sings “FOR there’s a heart, a heart that lives in New York.”

    L.... N....

    benny gallagher wrote this on the plane from heathrow to jfk

    Does anyone know whether Arthur Garfunkel is gay? He just seems to be so.

    T.... ....

    so?..... stupid comment!

    T.... ....

    Jefferson Westwood Excellent reply...

    T.... ....

    Thank you.

    T.... ....

    Who cares ?

    T.... ....

    No... But he said on his book he was a "lover of all beautiful asses, beautiful bodies, boys and girls"

  89. L.... B....

    Great Song !!!

  90. J.... M....

    A beautiful song that encapsulates the best city in the world. New York City has that little big of magic in it.

    J.... M....

    I start crying every time I listen this song!. I cannot forget my beautiful NY.

    J.... M....

    It’s actually a bit critical of NYC, if you analyze it.

  91. S.... C....

    Beautiful song!

    I love Simon & Garfunkel since 1979!

  92. B.... G....

    THE BEST.

    @Suffer Fools
    You may not believe
    Though the sound is clear I found difficulty to recognise what he was singing
    So I've needed to read the lyrics
