Píseň: Big City Blues

Interpret:
Barry Manilow
Album:
2:00 AM Paradise Cafe ‎
Much of my life has been spiced with romance 


Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance 


Drownin' out my sorrow 


Longin' for tomorrow 


Caught up in the big city blues 




Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky 


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


Clouds hangin' above me 


No one there to love me 


guess it's just the big city blues 




Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after 
I'll know her with only a glance 


She'll make me smile 
and she'll fill me with laughter 
and our love will be like a dance 


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
