Downtown
Petula Clark


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 will 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 bossanova
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
And go
Downtown
Where all the lights
Are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you
Tonight
Downtown
You're gonna be
Alright now
(Downtown)

(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
