Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Swing Street

It's raining down sorrow and nothing but bad news

You know I've had it up to here

living with these blues

But I won't let it get me down,

it's not the only game in town

In my mind, I'm goin to Swing Street

I'm a dreamer on a rough road

And I need to hear the music once again

When there's nothing but bad news,

I've got a way to beat the blues

I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street

We can dance there, there's a chance there

Of finding a little romance there

You don't know who you'll meet

When you're down on Swing Street

Lose your blues in a minute

Cop a groove and you're in it

I'm tellin you once, I'm tellin you twice

Better take my advice

If you're weepin and you're wailin'

I've got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin,

Count to four and grab my hand

say I'll meet you by the band

You and I, we're goin' to Swing Street

Give yourself to the rhythm

And every wrong is forgiven

You may even lose the bluest of blues

Get back on your feet

When your best friends turn to strangers

And one more workin' day

don't seem worth all the changes

Just reach out and take my hand

and I'll meet you by the band

You and I, we're goin' to Swing Street

Yes you and I, we're going to go

to Swing Street YEAH!
