Staring through a telescope at night
At a large light in the sky
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
Star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky
Or maybe it was not a star at all
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
Looking out across the Jersey shore
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
Your name should be dancing
Beamed from satellites
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
Tell it to your heart, please, don't be afraid
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
New York city lovers, tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
And I guess I couldn't sleep
I see this spinning light that I saw last week
Maybe I should wake you
But by then it might be gone
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky, ooh
I ran outside down the darkened street
Listen to my boot heels click
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette
When I turned the corner
My spinning light was in the street
They were filming a commercial on TV
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
New York City lovers, tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart, tell it to your heart
Please don't be afraid, tell it to your heart
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart
This is from an album called Berlin
And it's called "Men of good fortune"
