Barry Manilow - This Is My Town Lyrics
This is my town
This fabulous city
This inspirational town
This is my town
This just sensational town
New York -
All that I dreamed I'd be
Everything I call 'me'
Really is N-Y-C
This is my town
This talented city
This big, tall
This is my town
Where waiters are witty
This great empowering town
The skyline may be
Unmistakable
And the spirit
Is unbreakable
This is New York -
This is my town
Don't mess with me and my town
New York -
You've always seen me through
No other place but you
Knows me the way you do
This is my town
This fast-talkin' city
This loud but lyrical town
This is my town
This fast-walkin' city
This man-made miracle town
Here eyes are the brightest
And the cleverest
Here's the summit
This is everest!
This is the place
This was my start
This is my home
And this is my heart
This is New York -
This is my... town!

Barry Manilow This Is My Town Comments
I saw him in concert last night at the Hollywood Bowl.......LOVED IT!!!
Frank Sinatra is turning over in his grave right now
Not good. Vocal is a bit wobbly, and the song is overwritten. An artist as successful as Manilow has no business putting out dreck like this. Perhaps he should retire.
One of Barry's best albums! It's awesome!
This is such a beautiful collection of songs. I really enjoyed listening to it. Simply amazing !
Love Barry Manilow ferever!!
La patota
Great!!
Uma linda canção para uma linda cidade! Congratulations, Mr. Manilow! God bless you and save the America and NYC forever!
So good !!
So cool !!
He's as much of a New Yorker as Hillary Clinton was! God does he suck!
I love that Barry--your the man

first saw Barry at Blenheim palace many years ago still makes great music today lovely xx
Dude you need to stop now.
As a New Yorker, I am proud he is singing music again about my Town and my City of New York. Well done!
i dont care if he is gay. i am happy for him no matter what. barry is a entertainer , singer , songwriter ,producer , etc... i have been listening to his music since high school. i love of his music. i have quite a collection of barry music. when he puts out another album or concerts , i want to own them or go to his concerts. if i was related to him i would be very proud of him. barry keep smiling and be happy in whatever you . your fan always lauren duval
Great that you are recording again ! Great song - and your voice is still fantastic. Been a fan of you forever!!
I have heard a few of the new songs from Barry's new CD "This is My Town" and I really like them. I have been a fan of Barry since Mandy came out. I just love Barry and think that he is the most talented musician I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. There was one time when he was in Las Vegas that I accidently met him and I will never forget that. He was the kindest and sincere person to me. He actually kissed my cheek after I asked him if I could kiss his cheek. What a guy!
He should be so proud of himself! All these years and still a great artist with his creative flow still going full speed ahead, bless him.
Who wrote this song?
This song reminds me of Dream Come True from Barkalar Games except it's not an instrumental. Just going listening to random songs from classic artists today.
Barry love your new album of course i love every album you make love always Amy from wisconsin
awesome, awesome. Barry sounds just like he did and even better in the 70's. What a talent....love you Barry
Manilow fab, since the beginning! Love this new song, Barry!!! Can't wait till the CD Is Released! (73 years, and, Can STILL hold those long notes. ...) DAMN, Barry, you definitely haven't lost your touch!
the previous entry is meant to say "Manilow Fan"..
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍
The only other thing needed is a line of Radio City Rockettes at the Music Hall kicking it up. Tried to get a release date from his website, but it just goes blank. Will be interested in getting a copy, since I have most everything going back to the 'white album' in '73.
This is my town, this fabulous city
This inspirational town
This is my town, where gritty is pretty
This just sensational town
New York, all that I dreamed I'd be
Everything I call me, really is NYC
This is my town, this talented city
This big, tall towering town
This is my town, where waiters are witty
This great empowering town
The skyline may be unmistakable
And the spirit is unbreakable
This is New York, this is my town
Don't mess with me and my town
New York, you've always seen me through
No other place but you
Knows me the way you do
This is my town, this fast-talking city
This loud but lyrical town
This is my town, this fast-walking city
This man-made miracle town
He rise up brightest and the cleverest
Here's the summit, this is everest
This is the place, this was my start
This is my home and this is my heart
This is New York
This is my town!
I'm only 19, been a fan for as long as i can remember, even though thats only a very little time... although I'm hoping there is still plenty more to come! I hopefully want to travel to America just to see Barry as I know he wont be touring back in the UK again... which is super unfortunate, I saw Barry only once in my short time on this planet so far, so i'm praying I can see him again, and have a major fangirl moment again! please bring even more Barry!!!!!!!!! so much love!
I feel like listening this in the musical of Broadway.
If this isn't going to be an opening number for a new Vegas gig, something is wrong. I think there's probably a small theater they could give him for a month or two in New York City. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Run it for 3 weeks. 75-90 minutes where Dave Koz or some other Jazz/Pop musician opens.
It'll happen.
They'll do it for him in Chicago and Los Angeles, too. No traveling. He's given a place to stay.
Done.
HE IS THE BEST MUSIC ARTIST THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!!!!!!! WOWWWW 🎵🎼🎶🎻🎸🎺🎷🎹🎤📀📼🎧💛💚💙💜❤🌷
Hi from Western Australia! You've still got the old magic Barry! Love anything and everything you sing!
I've always been a Barry Manilow fan for 40 years. I had to listen to this song about 6 times in a row to like it. I had to get use to the deeper voice now that he's aged a bit. I still have his Albums and cassette tapes. I love his music. It's very refreshing, and his jingles are awesome too. Everyday I play "I write the songs" or "Could it be Magic" Before going to bed.
Very happy upbeat sound ! Barry es muy bien in Nuevo York.
Brenda (UK)
Wonderful - very theatrical and so very Barry.
Look forward to hearing the whole CD on April 21st release date.
The genius music maker at work again.
Absolute pure class. Love, love, love it xx
I have seen Barry all over the U.S. & each show is great. Would love to see him again. My fave tv show was the one he did on CBS. It was great. Will always love you Barry. Thanks for all the great songs & great memories.
Never fading voice!
BARRY NEVER FORGETS HIS ROOTS! WISH YOU WERE HERE LIVING IN NYC! I'LL SETTLE FOR WHENEVER YOUR BROADWAY PLAY COMES TO TOWN! JUST PRE -ORDERED YOUR NEW ALBUM!
Barry, Awesome new song! I can't wait to hear the whole album.
His voice isn't what it was. Compare this to the power on Even Now or This one's for you. Yep, he's getting old. But still love him
You heard him sing Even Now LIVE recently?
yes, 2016
I shall be on Amazon as soon as this song finishes. Cannot wait for some more fabulous Barry songs!!!
i would be on my feet screaming and clapping right now if you sang this song. Wonderful, just like always. Just saw the release date. Three days before my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
love you Barry
great song Love to hear you again wish you to see you in NYC love you Barry God bless you
Barry, I JUST PRE-ORDERED your new music on iTunes! Can't wait to hear this new Manilow music. We don't get enough of your "BEAUTIFUL MUSIC"!
I like it, Barry! I saw you a few years ago at the St. James theatre in your town, New York! Third row-center for 3 shows! It didn't get better than that!
Listening it over and over all day long;
love it.
Barry I Love this song and can not wait to hear the rest of your new CD. You are simply THE BEST xx
Love it!!! I will be first in line for the tour. if there is one on the horizon. Who would have thought that love song to New York could be so fantastic! Only Barry!

What can you say but you are still amazing and you still got it what a song
FANTASTIC !! AWESOME, awesome, Awesome... CAN'T wait for the new cd!!! All songs of my NEW YORK !
YEAH !!!
I have been a fan since 1973, wow 44 years! When you follow someone's career like I have from the first album to this one you hear an amazing voice. Thanks Barry for all those years and hope more to come! Heck I even converted my wife to loving your music about 10 years ago. lol
I'm only 19, been a fan for as long as i can remember, even though thats only a very little time, but I'm so jealous that you've been able to see him through his career over the forty odd years!- He's such a special gentlemen with a wonderful voice and the most beautiful stage presence! I love him!
Hi Georgia...You've got an ear for good music at age 19. I first saw Barry on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" on ABC lip-synching to "Mandy". I was about 13 years old, and even back then I knew in my heart that Barry was going to be a legend! I've followed his career all of these years...We are blessed to still have Barry performing.
Georgia - Don't be jealous because you were around during his career. Nothing you can do about that. Blame it on fate . Just be glad you found now . If you search youtube the amazing thousands of Barry discoveries you'll make :-)
Georgia Welcome to the Manilow family. So glad you made the discovery, yes please check out Barry's other videos on Youtube you will be amazed. Glad you decided to join millions of others who get "IT"
well done xxxxx ☺😙
awesome. Barry, you are the best and so talented. Love this album.
Barry Manilow this has to be one of your best works so far
