| lyrics or other text: | Downtown
(Tony Hatch)
When you're alone
and life is making you lonely
You can always go -
Downtown
When you've got worries,
all the noise and the hurry
seems to help, I know -
Downtown
Just listen to the music
of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalks
where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares, and go
Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
No finer place for sure -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)
Don't hang around and
let your problems surround you,
there are movie shows -
Downtown
Maybe you know
some little places to go to
where they never close -
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm
of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too
before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares, and go
Downtown
Where all the lights are bright -
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight -
Downtown
You're gonna be alright now -
(downtown)
instrumental bridge
And you may find somebody kind
to help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you
and needs a gentle hand to
guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles,
forget all our cares, and go
Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
Don't wait a minute more -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)
Downtown, downtown,
downtown, downtown . . .
