Lyrics
THE PERFECT MATCH
by Joi Veer
Young girl taken by the hand to an island for the day.
She sets foot on Times Square and is born thru city scapes.
It only takes a single glance to leave an everlasting mark.
Fascination fills her up as she heads for Central Park.
She says -
Never seen anything like this.
Never imagined life so big.
This is a place like nowhere else.
I believe I've found THE PERFECT MATCH.
Young girl high above on the viewing deck looking down below.
Bright-eyed in her glory - she's picturing an Empire of her own.
Someday, she will hit these streets keeping her NY stride.
Breathing in the air, she feels the city breathe with her inside.
She says -
Never seen anything so great.
Never imagined such a place.
This is a world unto itself.
I believe I've found THE PERFECT MATCH.
Young girl skating by gazes at the golden god in awe.
This moment she'll remember, being in the Center of it all.
The buildings splash reflections reaching deep into her mind.
Her memory writes the story of images that only here she'll find.
She says -
Never seen people so alive.
Never imagined so much pride.
This is the jewel of NY State.
I believe I've found THE PERFECT MATCH.
Never thought I'd be so amazed.
Never forget these city scapes.
This is the place that I'll call home.
I believe I've found THE PERFECT MATCH.
Young girl lays her head down on an island far away,
Dreaming of the city that she'll make her own someday.
