Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Downtown / Uptown

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 hurries

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'll be great when you're

Downtown

No finer place for sure

Downtown

Everything's waiting for you

Or you can go

Uptotwn each everning

To my tenement

Uptown where folks

Don't have to pay much rent

And when you're there with me

You can see

That you're everything

The world is sweet

It's at your feet

If you're uptown

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

And you will find somebody

Who will help and understand you

Someone who is just like you

And needs a helping 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

(Uptown to my...)

Things'll be great when you're

Downtown

(Uptown...)

No finer place for sure

And when you're there with me

You can see

That you're everything

Downtown

The world is sweet

It's at his feet

When your...

Downtown...
