New York At Christmas (New York Christmas) - Tommy Tune

music: Richard Currier
words: Jim Piazza

Christmas in the air and my heart is here and there
The Yellow Rose of Texas is mistletoe to me
But come December, I suddenly remember
That Manhattan is the only place to be...

A Santa Claus on every block, Radio City
Skyscrapers wrapped with a bow
It's Christmas Eve around the clock In New York City
Wish you were here for the show

Thought it won't be as merry without you tonight
I've still got Broadway to make Christmas bright

The neon glow of falling snow lights up the city
New York is Christmas to me
If dreams come true and here they do
Soon I'll be seeing
New York at Christmas with you

If you long for the song of a snow crested lark
It's just a subway to old Central Park

The neon glow of falling snow lights up the city
New York is Christmas to me
If dreams come true and here they do
Soon I'll be seeing
New York at Christmas with you...
Light up the City!
New York is Christmas to me.

TOMMY TUNE, Legendary (9 time Tony Award winning "Broadway Star"), along with "The Manhattan Rhythm Kings", preformed "New York At Christmas" in Tommy's New York City production of "White Tie And Tails" in 2002 and 2003. It was the first show ever to be booked at the "Little Shubert Theater" on West 42nd Street, New York.
It snowed onstage!

Jim Piazza and I wrote "New York At Christmas" in 1984. I first preformed the song that year, at "Night of 100 Trees" Event to Benefit AIDS Victims, at the Hammerstein Ballroom on West 34th Street in New York City.

"New York At Christmas" was first recorded by SEAN McDERMOTT (Chris / Miss Saigon) on his debut album "New York Nights" and first released in Australia on Larrikin Records in December of 1995. Buy now @: http://cdbaby.com/cd/smcdermott2

ED RAMBEAU recorded the song for his "Season of The Heart" Album in 1999.
Ed is one of those rock & roll vocalists from the mid-'60s who ruled for a few years, until the band acts overwhelmed him on the radio and as live attractions. A rival to such pop/rock crooners as Tommy Roe, Gary Lewis, Johnny Tillotson, Bobby Vinton, Joe Tex, (Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons) and Bobby Vee. Rambeau had only one major national hit (ironically, a cover of "Concrete and Clay") but was a reasonably successful songwriter for much of the 1960s.

27 year old PAUL SAFY, JR. recorded "New York At Christmas" in 2008.

"Paul, you've got a great way with you, I like you a lot!" - Sharon Osbourne (America's Got Talent 2010)

After winning the Fox affiliated (American Idol), Buffalo Idol in 2007, Paul was invited to sing with the Buffalo Philharmonic as a special guest star with The Duke Ellington Orchestra. Paul moved to NYC last spring. He's a very talented young man and I like his recording.

I really love this song. I hope that you do...
Sincerely,
Richard Currier
