[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
[Ensemble]:
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
[Ensemble]:
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

[Ensemble]:
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
Goodbye to the big city blues
