Description
Now, it's always once upon a time in New York CityIt's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there
They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you
Ain't it great the way it all begins in New York City?
Right away, you're making time and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out, you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends
So, Oliver, don't be shy
Get out there and go and try
Believing that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City
If it's always once upon a time in New York City,
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
How could anyone stay starry-eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside?
And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own."
So, Oliver, don't be scared
Though yesterday, no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
And it's always once upon a time
In New York City...
While I definitely like "Why Should I Worry," I'm a little more partial to this song. It's incredibly catchy (Howard Ashman sure had a way with words) and it sets up the overall tone beautifully. Plenty of confidence at the beginning, bringing you down with a little sadness in the middle, and at the end, there's a tiny ray of hope in the darkness.
I'm a fan of Huey Lewis, too, so that's another big plus.
Out of all the drawings I've done so far this month, this is among the ones of which I'm proudest. I feel it turned out really good.
