Bells of New York City
Bells of New York City
There’s a pale winter moon in the sky coming through my window
And the park is laid out like a bed below
It’s a cold, dark night and my heart melts like the snow
And the bells of New York City tell me not to go
It’s always this time of year that my thoughts undo me
With the ghosts of many lifetimes all abound
But from these mad heights I can always hear the sound
Of the bells of New York City singing all around
Stay with me oh stay with me
Refuge from these broken dreams
Wait right here oh wait with me
On silent snow filled streets
Sing to me one song for joy and one for redemption
And whatever is in between that I call mine
With the street lamp light to illuminate the gray
And the bells of New York City calling me to stay
The bells of New York City calling me to stay

A beautiful. There is something so special about this and other Josh's songs, they are different. Josh really knows how to make a song his. Of course it is his, but he feels the songs, he is the song, the song is him.
I first heard this song 2 nights ago", I cried. It is just beautiful. When I read the title "Bells of New York City" it really reminds me of Ireland (Where I'm from), It is a beautiful title, and the song really portrays the beauty and atmosphere of New York "telling me to stay."
Josh has such a beautiful voice, such strong and beautiful soul. Magical. He has such a gift, and so do we.
Can't wait to see him in 13 DAYS!
Love you Josh.
God Bless you all and your oved ones always. Stay safe. My prayers are with you.

i'm chilean and this song is wonderful, Josh is an angel...
This is twice you've mentioned being undone. It was not hard painting this picture of snowy New York in my head. Your voice was just the catalyst I needed. Very haunting and beautiful.
I listen to this song over and over and over..it's unbelievable..and even more so live in Concert. Thank God for the gift he has given you..and Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
The beginning instrumentals of this song is soooo sexy. I think I could listen to it all day. Nice job Josh and crew! :)
I love this song, period. But of the lyrics...of all the songs and lines you have written the one that stands out the most to me is...Its always this time of year, that my thoughts undo me...wow! What a unique way to express it. Quite a writer, Josh.
It has been many years since I was in New York. Hearing the bells makes me long to return. Such a fascinating city, a fascinating song. Great work, Josh.
beautiful beautiful song the more I hear I like to sing Josh hopefully soon in my country Mexico
This is almost my favorite song on the album - but I love the entire album so much it's impossible to decide on a single favorite! Nonetheless, I love everything about this song! It fills my mind with so many beautiful images, and your voice is just enchanting. I love having this song stuck in my head.
Beautiful, beautiful.......
The bells of NYC called me to stay too, last summer when I visited the city, but I had to come back to Spain. What a pity!
Anyway, it's a really beautiful song.
really like this song!
