(Gary Brooker/Pete Sinfield)
|
Wouldn't changed a single word
|
Or touch a single note
|
Of those old songs those New York Songs
|
Of love that we once wrote
|
And though it hurts now we're apart
|
And different dreams pursue
|
Fragments of those songs remain
|
In whispered shades of blue
|
Old Manhattan melodies
|
Echo through my broken heart and call me back to you
|
Old Manhattan melodies...
|
Why Oh why the echoes cry I only wish I knew
|
Lighthouse shine in Quarter time
|
And guide me from this coast
|
In case I run around once more
|
And meet you or your ghost
|
I 'ver tried I can't turn back the clock
|
Your ships too long at sea
|
A dream the river stole away
|
Oh Misty Melody...
|
Old Manhattan melodies...
|
Echo through my aching heart and tell me you're still true
|
Old Manhattan melodies
|
Why Oh why the whole world cries I only wish I knew
|
Old Manhattan melodies...
|
Every note a memory some happy and some blue
|
Old Manhattan melodies...
|
Whisper through my lonely heart and call me back to you.
