Most everyone I know leaves New York on holidays
The fourth of July is a little lonely here
And a little holy
Fireworks out on the river and the boys all drinkin’ beer
Sing 'Hallelujah' for the year
'Hallelujah' for the year
'Hallelujah' for the year
There’s a songbird in my tree
I don’t know where it leads
But I believe it sings its song for me
And never sees the things I see
Oh, and I can dream for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
Hide away the freezing days
And when the sun returns
I will have learned to sing
Your haunting melody
You’ll take the notes that harmonize me
And bring me back to hallelujah
For the rest of my life
(Hallelujah…)
Hallelujah…
