​

The bars are closed and the streets are dead

And you'd kill to be alone in bed

But the powder's carried you away

Now you face the light of day

From a basement bar she rises from the ground

climbs the rail and pulls that shutter down 

 

Chorus

Ain't you got a kiss for me 

The village is a symphony 

Where else would you want to be

It's sunrise on Avenue C

Sunrise on Avenue C

 

We came to make this place our home

You say you've had enough You're moving on

We stood our ground and built our dream

But you say "nothings quite the way it seems”'

Forget the past. We'll start our lives again

Don't shake your head cause baby I know we can

 

Chorus

Ain't you got a kiss for me 

The village is a symphony 

Where else would you want to be

It's sunrise on Avenue C

It may not be the Mona Lee

The Ritz or Yosemitie

But it's good enough for you and me

It's sunrise on Avenue C

Sunrise on Avenue C

​
 

How do you feel you made the big time 

You're on the stage in morning sunshine 

So do the dance like no one's watching you 

We'll find our place and start our lives anew 

Don't shake your head, have some faith in me and you 

​

Chorus
