Central Park Serenade

Lyrics

[Intro: Gregory Porter] Ooh, woah [Verse 1: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter] Central Park serenade Count the minutes, counted the days Now I'm on my way back to you Been away much too long Another minute and I'll be gone My missing you days are all through [Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] I'll take an early flight I'll take a taxi ride And I'll be there And I'll be there in no time flat [Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] Good to be back, good to be back again I don't know why, know why I ever left But I'm comin' back now Slice of heaven right off the city streets Touch of magic under my feet And a band plays on And everybody sings along [Verse 2: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter] Central Park, winter day Mothers talking while children play I'll take a hot chocolate to go And take in all the crazy sights Far from all the traffic lights And stop and tell a stranger or two, "Hello" [Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] Watch lovers passing by I'll have a snowball fight And take a ride Inside a horse-drawn sleigh at night [Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] Good to be back, good to be back again I don't know why, know why I ever left But I'm comin' back now Slice of heaven right off the city streets Touch of magic under my feet And a band plays on And everybody sings along [Piano Solo] [Verse 3: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter] Central Park, winter night When the city comes alive You never know what the night will bring Christmas in the park after dark Who knows who's gonna steal your heart? You feel like you're ready for anything [Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] You never know tonight Someone might catch your eye Walk in your world And change your whole world just like that [Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter] Good to be back, good to be back again I don't know why, know why I ever left But I'm comin' back now Slice of heaven right off the city streets Touch of magic under my feet And a band plays on And everybody sings along [Outro: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter] Everybody sings And everybody sings along Sings along Hmm mmm
