Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

She walks the avenue at closing time

Counting all the windows, counting all the signs

Nobody waves, nobody knows her face

But something in her keeps this city's pace

[chorus]

Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine

You were built for these streets, you were built for this time

Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high

This town was always yours, don't you wonder why

[verse]

The subway rumbles underneath her feet

Every stranger's got a rhythm, got a beat

She came here empty-handed, found a home

In every corner she was never quite alone

[chorus]

Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine

You were built for these streets, you were built for this time

Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high

This town was always yours, don't you wonder why

[bridge]

Every skyline learns to hold a dream

Every corner's got a brighter scene

You don't need a crowd to prove you're real

This whole town already knows how you feel

[chorus]

Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine

You were built for these streets, you were built for this time

Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high

This town was always yours, don't you wonder why

## Lyrics
[verse]
She walks the avenue at closing time
Counting all the windows, counting all the signs
Nobody waves, nobody knows her face
But something in her keeps this city's pace

[chorus]
Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine
You were built for these streets, you were built for this time
Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high
This town was always yours, don't you wonder why

[verse]
The subway rumbles underneath her feet
Every stranger's got a rhythm, got a beat
She came here empty-handed, found a home
In every corner she was never quite alone

[chorus]
Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine
You were built for these streets, you were built for this time
Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high
This town was always yours, don't you wonder why

[bridge]
Every skyline learns to hold a dream
Every corner's got a brighter scene
You don't need a crowd to prove you're real
This whole town already knows how you feel

[chorus]
Girl of the city lights, don't you lose your shine
You were built for these streets, you were built for this time
Girl of the city lights, hold your head up high
This town was always yours, don't you wonder why
