Petula Clark - Downtown 2010
Origibnal 1964
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
So go downtown
things will be great when you're
downtown no finer place for sure
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 the gentle bossa nova
you'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
happy again the lights are much brighter there
you can forget all your troubles forget all your cares
So go downtown
where all the lights are bright
downtown waiting for you tonight
downtown you're gonna be alright now
(Instrumental)
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
So go downtown
things'll be great when you're
downtown don't wait a minute more
downtown everything's waiting for you
Downtown downtown downtown downtown ...
