Barry Manilow - Big City Blues lyrics

rate me

(with Mel Torme)

Mel:

Much of my life has been spiced with romance

Barry:

Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance

Mel:

Drownin' out my sorrow

Barry:

Longin' for tomorrow

Both:

Caught up in the big city blues

Barry:

Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky

Mel:

Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry

Barry:

Clouds hangin' above me

Mel:

No one there to love me

Both:

guess it's just the big city blues

Barry/Mel:

Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after

I'll know her with only a glance

Mel/Barry:

She'll make me smile

and she'll fill me with laughter

and our love will be like a dance

Both:

Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine

I'll hold her near and I'll know that she´s mine

No more stormy weather

Love will last forever

Good-bye to the big city blues
