Lyrics
It's been a long long year
Reflecting on a lengthy and challenging year
I'm just so happy that we're here
Expressing joy and gratitude for being in the present moment
Somehow we made it
Acknowledging the achievement of reaching the current point
It's been a long time dream of mine
Highlighting a long-held personal aspiration
To walk a snowy Central Park till it almost gets dark
Describing the desire to experience walking in snowy Central Park
Then you hold me like we've never been apart
Reuniting with a significant other and feeling a strong connection
And for a moment no heart can stay dormant to the magic in air
Experiencing a magical moment in the atmosphere
There's nothing quite like New York City in December
Expressing the uniqueness of New York City in December
Turn on the brightest light
Suggesting the need to bring brightness and positivity into the situation
The dark is giving us a fight, but we can break it
Facing challenges but having the confidence to overcome them
Follow the scented pine
Guided by the scent of pine, symbolizing a journey or direction
To where the Hudson meet the bay
Referring to a specific geographical point where elements meet
The city's showing us the way
Seeing the city as a guide, providing direction in life
And then you hold me like I'm always here to stay
Feeling a sense of permanence and security in a relationship
And for a moment no heart can stay dormant to the magic in air
Experiencing a moment of enchantment and emotional connection
There's nothing quite like New York City in December
Reiterating the uniqueness of New York City in December
Oh to feel the cold wind blow
Appreciating the sensation of cold wind in December
And still to know
Emphasizing the simultaneous awareness of the surroundings
Still to know
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the sense of knowing
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
Expressing a strong preference for being in New York City in December
There's nothing quite like
Reiterating the uniqueness and incomparability of the experience
There's nothing quite like
Reaffirming the exceptional nature of New York City in December
There's nothing quite like New York City
Stating the uniqueness of the experience and setting (New York City)
In December
Summarizing the essence of the entire song, emphasizing December in New York City
