Hiatt, John - When New York Had Her Heart Broke Lyrics






On that fiery day
When the towers gave way
NY had her heart broke
NY had her heart broke

Many heroes died
Trying to save someone inside
When NY had her heart broke
NY had her heart broke

And I was there that day
And I don't know what to say
Except NY had her heart broke

In a million years
She couldn't cry more tears
NY had her heart broke
NY had her heart broke

And the daylight fell dark
F16's over Central Park
When NY had her heart broke
We were dazed in the streets
From the blood and dust and heat
When NY had her heart broke
NY had her heart broke

And the world changed that day
Forever some will say
When NY had her heart broke
But like a lover she will rise
Once again to touch the skies
Yeah, NY had her heart broke
NY had her heart broke

Ahh, but she will rise
Again

  1. S.... H....

    What six assholes gave this thumbs down?

  2. J.... A....

    Sad part--Sept 11 attacks and 3000 deaths were 100% planned by USA and Isreal
    Why? Over 3 million innocent middle east folks were bombed and killed.No song will bring them back.

  3. T.... W....

    Dedicated to Omar, the moammar, there in MN. >:-(

  4. E.... E....

    We will never forget.

    E.... E....

    YouTube If this is goodbye by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris.

  5. D.... S....

    Seventeen Years Later... 2018
    God Bless The Victims of 911... May their Souls soar unto new Light to help guide ours - D

  6. L.... S....

    Exceptional montage to a perfect song...

  7. G.... K....

    Wow... powerful...

  8. B.... R....

    blown up by bombs...how sad indeed

  9. m.... ....

    I love this beautiful and sad song
    I was young but i remember of this verry bad day for the world and now,14years lastest this is my country wich is touched by the terrorists
    I'm French an today the freedom of France was attacked and i feel me very bad.
    Before this i don't belive this horror will be possible in my country
    They was want weaken or maybe kill freedom of expression
    They was wanted buried this goods guys they was make him eternal
    Je suis Charlie
    i am Charlie

    I love John Hiatt but I have to admit, this song doesn't do much for me. BUT!! I love the attempt, the sound and the video.

    I think John Hiatt is a real American poet and treasure.

  11. J.... N....

    Grammar is important.  The word should be "broken" not "broke".

    J.... N....

    Yes. But that's minor compared to the poetic message.

    J.... N....

    Justina N. Why bother about one single letter?
    The video and the wonderful music speaks for itself.
    What a great song!!!

    J.... N....

    Proper grammar is important in everything but music. Now you know that.

    J.... N....

    When you become a professional songwriter you can critique others work... until then let's not troll 9/11 songs

  12. s.... s....

    This is some exceptional videography...

  13. X.... ....

    Happened 12 years ago but still we will remember!

  14. J.... ....

    One of the best songs about 911 not written by Bruce Springsteen :-)

  15. T.... O....

    Never forget!

  16. D.... R....

    ...and most people world wide know and/or believe why and if one does any critical thinking searches on the net, one can find the answers...so if you are sticking your head in the blinding sands of the lame stream media, YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH OF ANYTHING AND/OR TRUTH, EXCEPT FOR THE WEATHER REPORTS, this video is a gripping reminder of false/flag war mongering! This is the first time I've seen it and kudos to John Hiatt's fine hard-truth & soft-truth art and to other artists who walk that path!!!

  17. B.... ....

    Another great song from Mr Hiatt...a real American artist that we're lucky enough to still have amongst us and still producing such hard hitting songs...

  18. M.... ....

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY. Thank You.

  19. E.... H....

    Oh my God. I remember every moment. I've never felt such love and hate at the same time. Thank you and God bless you every one.

  20. E.... P....

    jrha777, thank you so much for posting this video!!! To the FDNY, NYPD and other heroes of 9/11, thank you even more. We will never, ever forget you.

    For fans of this song, I've also put together a video, which includes many of the same images along with pictures taken yesterday at the Freedom's Flame exhibit currently at the Nixon Library in CA.

  21. S.... ....

    Thank you for putting this together...the minute I heard this song on the new album I began to look for it on YouTube so I could post it on my FB page. Again, thank you, very well done.

  22. E.... F....

    The song is beautiful, but this video is really powerful! One usually only considers how music serves picture, but this is a very compelling example of a brilliantly crafted sequence of images uplifting a song. Superbly done! - thank you!

  23. S.... N....

    Poignant, telling, vivid, evocative. Great expression of the song. Hiatt lays it out straight clear and clean. Thank you!
