Barry Manilow - Big City Blues (with Mel Torme)

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
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
Good bye to
the big city blues
Good bye to
the big city blues
Good bye to
the big city blues
Much of my life

Too many bedrooms
I've slept in by chance
Drownin out my sorrow
Longin for tomorrow
Caught up

Rain pourin down

Don't wanna smile
and I'm too sad to cry
Clouds hangin above me

Someday I'll find me
