about

New York City was a natural fit for John Lennon in 1971. He considered it the cultural capital of the world. While he was very exuberant over starting a new chapter in his life there, he wished he could have shared his excitement with his late mother, Julia. If only he could hear his mum’s reassuring response.

lyrics

I got nowhere to post this letter
I don’t know where you’ve gone
I spent a long time screaming
Just to carry on

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

Inside I feel you’re present
My future feels your past
I should just accept it
But it never hurts to ask

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

It’s a long, long way from you
It’s gonna be good for me
It’s a long long way from Liverpool
But it’s where I want to be

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

I miss you and the music
The things you shared with me
I won’t forget us singing Elvis
And dancing to Chuck Berry
I always see myself in you
I search for you in faces
There’s a space inside of me
A pain that time erases

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

Tried to call you the other day
I could swear I heard your voice
Almost forgot you’d gone away
This time not by choice


I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
And I want you to know I made it
I’m in NYC!
And I want you to know I made it
I’m in NYC!

That’s New York City to you!
