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
