Central Park Serenade
[Intro: Gregory Porter]
Ooh, woah
[Verse 1: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter]
Central Park serenade
Count the minutes, counted the days
Now I'm on my way back to you
Been away much too long
Another minute and I’ll be gone
My missing you days are all through
[Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
I'll take an early flight
I'll take a taxi ride
And I’ll be there
And I'll be there in no time flat
[Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
Good to be back, good to be back again
I don't know why, know why I ever left
But I'm comin' back now
Slice of heaven right off the city streets
Touch of magic under my feet
And a band plays on
And everybody sings along
[Verse 2: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter]
Central Park, winter day
Mothers talking while children play
I'll take a hot chocolate to go
And take in all the crazy sights
Far from all the traffic lights
And stop and tell a stranger or two, "Hello"
[Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
Watch lovers passing by
I'll have a snowball fight
And take a ride
Inside a horse-drawn sleigh at night
[Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
Good to be back, good to be back again
I don't know why, know why I ever left
But I’m comin’ back now
Slice of heaven right off the city streets
Touch of magic under my feet
And a band plays on
And everybody sings along
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 3: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter]
Central Park, winter night
When the city comes alive
You never know what the night will bring
Christmas in the park after dark
Who knows who's gonna steal your heart?
You feel like you’re ready for anything
[Pre-Chorus: Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
You never know tonight
Someone might catch your eye
Walk in your world
And change your whole world just like that
[Chorus: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter, Renée Fleming & Gregory Porter]
Good to be back, good to be back again
I don't know why, know why I ever left
But I'm comin' back now
Slice of heaven right off the city streets
Touch of magic under my feet
And a band plays on
And everybody sings along
[Outro: Renée Fleming, Gregory Porter]
Everybody sings
And everybody sings along
Sings along
Hmm mmm
