BURT BACHARACH - Toledo lyrics

rate me

All through the night you telephoned

I saw the light blinking red beside the cradle

But you don't know how far I've gone

*Now I must live with the lie (life?) that I made

But if I call, I know I won't have to say it

You'll hear my voice, something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo

Know that their name doesn't travel very well

And does anybody in Ohio dream of that Spanish citadel

But it's no use saying that I love you

And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me

For if anyone should look into your eyes

It's not forgiveness they're gonna see

You hear her voice, how could you do that

You hear her voice, how could you do that

So I walked outside in the bright sunshine

And lovers pass by smiling and joking

But they don't know the fool I was

Why should they care what was lost, what was broken

But if I call, I know I won't have to say it

You'll hear my voice, something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo

Know that their name doesn't travel very well

And does anybody in Ohio dream of that Spanish citadel

But it's no use saying that I love you

And how that girl didn't really mean a thing to me

For if anyone should look into your eyes

It's not forgiveness they're gonna see

(repeat and fade)
