"We've seen what this old town can take, now let's see what it can give"

High above the fast moving city, with the sirens and lights that never stop
let's make a date, let's tempt fate, I'll meet you on the rooftop
beyond the reach of hustlers and cops

We'll set our sights on the end of the day, and see what the fading light has left to say
We'll have a few drinks in the light of the fading sun, we'll have our fun
we'll give all the cabbies names, imagine where they live
We've both seen what this old town can take, now let's see what it can give

And after awhile, we'll slow down, we'll shift gears
and turn up the radio and toast each new star as it appears

and it's not just the wind that blows me away
it's having you here, and hearing all the things you have to say

And you say "it's still early, let's live beyond the laws of the magistrate
light up, come up, the time is now, don't stop or hesitate"
and the stars seem to shine in your eyes, lighting up the darkened skies
and hits me like a fourth of July fireworks surprize
