Downtown
Petula Clark - Downtown
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
all the noise and the hurry
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Things will be great when you're downtown
Everything's waiting for you
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
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Where all the lights are bright
You're gonna be alright now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles
Things will be great when you're downtown
Everything is waiting for you
