Once Upon a Time in New York City - lyrics

[StarBoy62]

'The rain is saying, "Now your on your own."' is my favorite part because when I have bad days when it rains, I think of that because its the real adult world and everyone gets older.

[DustinOfPersonality]

It was good seeing the World Trade Center towers in the beginning and at the end

[CaptainCretaceous91]

Is this Heuy Lewis?

[Dreamingeye1]

@CaptainCretaceous91 I think so

[Jujubaw]

"keep your dream alive,dreaming is still how the strong survive."

My favorite part, and also the truth.

[WarriorFanEmma]

pshaw, i dont need the lyrics!

[Harleyterror]

whenever i watch disney movies with little kids, theyre calm and composed and im bawling my eyes out... <3

[10WTF011]

First song i cried to. It makes me feel helpless to help the poor, less fortunate.

[AnimaLjam4123]

This is why my profile picture is Dodger :)

[finaldbzfantasy91210]

This song always makes me wanna go to manhattan r

[kinjablackrose]

This song reminds me of my pet snake, Henry who was starved, unwanted and abused, but now with me and my girlfriends care, he's recovering, still makes me cry listening to this and thinking of him though :')

[Nikolokinina]

I can't believe i'm torturing myself with this song T_T... I ALWAYS cry as soon as i hear the intro, ever since i was a kid... Without a doubt the BEST Disney-movie ever <3...

[Spottedleaf33]

This song... It just makes me wanna cry but it's also really uplifting to hear the end. "Keep your dream alive, dreaming is still how the strong survive once upon a time in New York City" <3

[jakeysamra]

That me cry with that song

[TheRockAngel97]

It's so sad when you think of all the abanded animals in big cities like that... That have no love and die every day and no body cares...What is our world coming to? :'(

[drummerjason16]

This was such an underrated movie

[MissNYCLover]

Aw this is so nice.

[NarutoRPCfan]

Gah, jesus. I remember crying at the opening to the movie. ;A; Damn here we go again.

[ruaridh2k7]

Huey Lewis with his powerful voice shows you the dark truth behind New York for the unfortunate.. yet still provides strong hope..

One of my favorites.. Played many times on my I pod. Simple love this song and this movie !!

[FallOutBoyyIzHawt]

Still makes me tear up...

[acabner]

BEST MOVIE DISNEY MOVIE AND BEST DISNEY SONGS FROM THIS FILM ^_^

[minty445325]

All of the tears

[DarkIce111]

The Scene Makes Me Bawl But Even The Song Alone Makes Me Cry

[btrjamesmaslow11]

My favorite part is when he sings " So oliver dont be shy get out there let go and try believing that your the guy they're dying to see." That is so sweet and true.!

[btrjamesmaslow11]

The beat and mood of this song is really sad but if you listen to the lyrics also its so sweet and even more sad about what the singer is singing. :)

[btrjamesmaslow11]

Omg, the beginning makes me cry.! Poor Oliver, i would take him home if i were there. :( Its still a really good song though.

[seanboy97]

i was sad at this part to then dodger came in and that made me smile when i was a kid

[MrNicoleCherie]

Omg i love this song and the movie!

[TokitoTaishiro]

My favorite song of the whole movie, and it just makes me want to cry so much! Even if I didn't have the whole thing with Oliver emotionally tied to the song, I think it would still make me cry. Such a good song... ;_;

[StrickenRecord]

Such a beautiful song, as sad as it is.. totally fitting for the movie.. and that scene of the Twin Towers in the first few seconds.... so beautiful.

[olivierbaghdadi]

tht huey lewis sure knows how 2 sing and tht song aint bad at all

[charliepaigebryan]

im sobbing right now!!! D:

[ThatOneKidNoOneKnows]

Still *how

[ThatOneKidNoOneKnows]

"Keep your dream alive, dreaming is still the strong survive" <3 My favorite part.

[lemongirlohyeah]

it took me year ebfore I realised this is an animal and modern version of Oliver Twist XD

[Thegirlwhowasbitten]

@lemongirlohyeah it is ?????? i never knew that !!! now that i think about it that makes sense LOL

[TheAfrayser]

this made me cry too............(cries)

[aliciaDmorgan]

god i dont know how but this song still makes me cry and think of Oliver and company UGH and its been years since ive seen that movie...i think this is a calling telling me its time to watch it again and remember why i loved it so much.

[popcornbutter347]

keep your dream alive ♥

[steph1019]

this song still makes me teary eyed because all i can think about is how all the other kittens got picked and not oliver and then he was all alone in the rai : (

[sam30stig]

why does the comment involving preventing animal cruelty in America got more likes than the worldwide one!?!

[roofus567]

I cried when I watched this movie and this scene because of how all the others got picked instead of him

[soccerplayinfool12]

DAH! this part in the movie makes me cry ever single time!!!!!!!!D:

[heyyguys08]

:(.....I love this song..but I will say this...New York...you dont make friends easy...if your from the South, that is...xD

[rokdowg]

why do people think you thumbs upping their comment will prevent animal cruelty?

[wolflove225]

@rokdowg cause they think tht if they get the word out it will change ppl, but really the only way to make change is to change yourself.

[MeshaxRie]

This is my first song iv ever herd I love oliver so much it makes me cry two TT~TT

[LegoPeopleAnimation]

i always cry at this film

[madmo123456]

@BeagleLover191 or maybe they just don't like New York City.

[XRachelLouiseXx]

the begining of the movie still makes me cry and i'm 17 now :L

[MCHammer2007a]

@XRachelLouiseXx This song has randomly been stuck in my mind lately. T-T

[Pikura]

@XRachelLouiseXx the same happens to me... im 24 now, but im sure even if im 74, it will make me cry XD

[FinalxPaulaxFantasy]

@XRachelLouiseXx im almost 20 and it still does me but you cant help but love it :)

[Heartlessangel350]

@BeagleLover191 that 1 person dislikeing mostly likely is the person disliking all these vids xD, probbly som 6 year old hatin on the good oldies we had

[MsDemonKairi]

I always think of Oliver sitting in the box when I hear this song. It almost makes me cry to see him all soaking wet. :(

Animal abuse is wrong. Let's stop it!

[MW2proification]

@MsDemonKairi how is oliver getting soaked animal abuse? but agree it still makes me sad in the beginning of the movie, i'm 18.

[Pikura]

@MW2proification the fact someone abandoned them in a box, thats animal abuse, the rain its just bad luck XD

[MW2proification]

@Pikura maybe who ever had to give him away couldn't afford to keep him.

[Pikura]

@MW2proification and thats an excuse for leaving him alone in the streets? there are adoption centers you know? you can leave any animal in there so they can be adopted and live a normal life.

[MW2proification]

@Pikura just think about it, you have to provide for your family and you have all these kitties and you spend more then you gain, you can't afford to take care of them nor can you help your family, won't you think thats unfair to the kittens to force them starve. It difficult to make tough decisions between family and pets, but it would have been for the best to give them normal lives to put them up for adoption, and maybe the person never saw oliver still in the box and assumed he was adopted.

[Pikura]

@MW2proification o_O just where in my response did i ever say that?? ive NEVER said that whoever abandoned him should take care of him all by himself!! i totally agree with you with that, BUT all i said was that he could put oliver in an adoption center!! dont you know what an adoption CENTER is?? thats all i said, nothing at all what you wrote!

[GuilmonLover2010]

@MsDemonKairi that's true...but, oliver DID get his happy ending! so it's all good!! :)

[MsDemonKairi]

@GuilmonLover2010 Yes he did! :3 That is true

[Mrsjonas4now]

I just realized Oliver's name was in the song....I didn't know that.

[superspeedish]

what would you classify this music as? My grandma thought it was country, but this is definitely NOT country.

[LightYagame100000]

@superspeedish early pop ?

[SkyyProHacker]

1 pirson who disliked that is stupid xD

[superspeedish]

@SkyyProHacker nah, he either has a bad memory attached to the song, or gave up on dreaming.

[surcharge1234]

1 Person is afraid to show their TRUE feelings... It made them too sad.... Poor loser...

[JimmyLunchbox]

I'm from chicago, and even I LOVE this song

[BrandonMullins1000]

y'all said its a sad song I agree

[loverstale1]

I wanted to cry so much when I heard this in the movie!!! It seemed really sad to me.

[sydneyNmorgan97]

2:25-2:39 is my favorite part! <3

[sydneyNmorgan97]

1:14-1:28 is my favorite part, not the lyrics the melody

[LimimiL]

Ohhh this song... I can't hear it without crying my eyes out... there's just to many memories attached to it for me.

[Ztomboygirl11]

this is sad

[clem3146]

[artpeacemaster]

[kunoichiofthenight]

I don't know why but when I watch this movie(at the beginning ) I always cry

[MalachiRevenge]

This Is Still my Favorite Movie even to this Day And Im 24 its a movie with alot of heart and love and the music is Great.

[magicalkitten1]

This song makes me think about "Of Mice And Men" for an odd reason.....

[DeviouslyHarrowing]

@magicalkitten1 Actually, your reason's not odd. Now that you point it out, it makes me think of it too.

[PhillyRomantic]

this song makes me get all emotional!!

[animeandanimals]

its been forevr since ive seen this movie and im going through a phase where i am watching all my chilhood favs so tonight i am watching this

[I230]

It's been years since I watched this movie and I'm still obsessed with the music

[1GuideYouHome1]

Awww, this song is making me cry

[GigiDagostinoo]

sarebbe un remix techno grande del tutto appropriata. Ma bisogna rispettare i diritti dalla

[KiraIsFivePercent]

Wow, I remember watching this when I was younger and crying everytime I heard this song. Sadly, I broke the tape after watching it so much....

[phenixtattoo]

when i was younger id play this movie and keep rewinding for this song, it made me cry and smile:')

[sarayXP]

this song always makes me cry :(

[Cartoonfangirl007]

true words....

[Dracklore1223]

If you do not like this you should probably check yourself for a soul.

[MetallicRose7295]

I haven't heard this song in years. I completely forgot about it. Oliver and Company's beginning always made me sad, but I couldn't stop watching it! Now I want to see the movie again.

[StarWarsObsession42]

Hewey Lewis Rocks :D

[Laya9194]

It's odd, how you suddenly fall in love with a song that you've heard a couple of times. It happened to me today, when I watched Oliver & Company for the first time in a decade or so. Now I've spent hours listening to this over and over.

[bumblbee448]

THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT TO HELP PREVENT ANIMAL CRUELTY IN AMERICA!

[hellgurl71]

@bumblbee448 thubmbs up to prevent Animal cruelty everywhere! in the world

[TheFatalSyndrome]

@hellgurl71 How does thumbs upping your comment and getting you attention help save animals from cruelty?

[hellgurl71]

@TheFatalSyndrome oh no, what I was saying when I did that reply is that Animal cruelty is everywhere in the world not just America.

[DeviouslyHarrowing]

@bumblbee448 Because I'm sure Thumbing Up some comment on YT will definitely stop animal cruelty. Your comments just that special ain't it?

[bumblbee448]

@DeviouslyHarrowing actually i volunteer with PETA. by thumbing up that little comment, u are donating 58 cents to animal shelters that rescue abused animals. please dont criticize about what u dont know:)

[DeviouslyHarrowing]

@bumblbee448 PETA Sucks dude. And I highly doubt they would raise money for something as stupid as your comment xD

Face it, you just wanted to be at the top.

[bumblbee448]

@DeviouslyHarrowing you know what... you are TOTALLY right! i forgot that complete strangers know everything about me and the organizations im in. my bad, i apologize

[DeviouslyHarrowing]

@bumblbee448 u mad bro?

[magicalkitten1]

@DeviouslyHarrowing

Ignore him/her. Don't waste you breath trying to put sense into someone with a skull as soft as pig s**t

[DeviouslyHarrowing]

@magicalkitten1 I can't tell if that was directed at me, or Bumblbee, but it made me lol.

[lauraloveydear]

@magicalkitten1 why you hating on bumblbee448? she seems like she kinda knows what shes talking about. i know that PETA really does sponsor stuff for youtube so maybe you should think twice before saying rude things about people who are trying to help save animals

[magicalkitten1]

@lauraloveydear

I sent the comment to the wrong person, I meant to send it to bumblbee448, not DeviouslyHarrowing!

[BarbarianBadAss]

@lauraloveydear if your talking about Peta then you should know Peta is not helping animals, the humane society and animal control are the ones saving animals not Peta, they are an extremist group who do very nasty things to get their point across and all they do is yell and scream, so i am giving my support to KFC to fight Peta and it's ignorance

[countrygirl8ful]

@bumblbee448 I want to prevent animal cruelty in BOTH Cananda and Amercia!

[RockerOfTheSocks]

@bumblbee448 How is your comment preventing animal cruelty.

[ImYinSoo]

@RockerOfTheSocks I help rescue animals so they don't suffer anymore

[animeandanimals]

i love oliver and company

[HyperGirl424]

this part in the movie always makes me cry D;

love it :)

[SailorKag]

[MusicIsTheArtOfLife]

[MusicIsTheArtOfLife]

[dizzipiskio]
