Songtexte: Barry Manilow. 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe. Big City Blues.

(with Mel Torme)

Mel:
Much of my life has been spiced with romance
Barry:
Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance
Mel:
Drownin' out my sorrow
Barry:
Longin' for tomorrow
Both:
Caught up in the big city blues

Barry:
Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky
Mel:
Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry
Barry:
Clouds hangin' above me
Mel:
No one there to love me
Both:
guess it's just the big city blues

Barry/Mel:
Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after
I'll know her with only a glance
Mel/Barry:
She'll make me smile
and she'll fill me with laughter
and our love will be like a dance

Both:
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
