Album: Downtown - The Greatest Hits of Petula Clark

Downtown

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 sidewalk 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)
(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 them 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 all right now
(Downtown)

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
