Barry Manilow London Lyrics

London Lyrics

New York winter Traffic squeals 

The city feels...so old 

Late December taxi ride 

Then run inside it's cold 



Got your letters Monday 

I think or Tuesday 

I lose track 

since then I've been thinking of you 

and I've been looking back to 



London 

Can you believe it's so many years since 

London 

Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacks 

London 

In the park by the Thames Drinking tea 

London 

sitting in pubs and living in walk-ups 

London 

Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you 

London 

We were young we were sure 

We were... free 



Was it really ages 

Ago the memories Never fade 

can you hear Big Ben where you are 

and are you glad you stayed in 



London 

Dodging the rain with broken umbrellas 

London 

Readind the Times on saturday picnics 

London 

Counting stars 'till the stars 

All were gone 



London 

So many plans and nothing but time in 

London 

Nothing to fear 'cause nothing could last in 

London 

We grew close we grew scared 

I moved on 



Oh London 

What were we scared of 

Why did I run from London 

Part of me still has 

Never come back from London 

Is it fair that I miss 

You so much 



Take good care all my love 

Keep in touch 

New York winter taxi ride 

Then run inside it's cold
