Downtown
(5x1) Petula Clark Lyrics

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
If you're feeling lonely, when life just isn't giving you what you need, downtown can give you a window to a different environment.

You can always go
Downtown is always there, waiting, providing an escape hatch for anyone who needs it.

When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
When you have things on your mind, the hustle and bustle of a city can be a useful distraction.

Seems to help, I know
This isn't just a theory; it's a fact. Escaping to downtown can make you feel less burdened by your worries.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
The sounds of a city can be rhythmic and soothing, much like music.

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
The bright colors of city lights are eye-catching and beautiful. Watching them can be a mesmerizing distraction.

How can you lose?
In a place that has so much going on, it's hard to find anything bad about spending some time downtown.

The lights are much brighter there
The city lights can be mesmerizing and create a thrilling illusion.

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
Spending time in a new environment, with new things to explore, can help wash away the weight of all your problems

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
It's never good let your problems compound on your head. Go out and do something new and exciting!

There are movie shows
Movies can offer an escape into different worlds and new adventures.

Maybe you know some little places to go to
There might be some hidden gems of the city that are waiting for you to discover and enjoy.

Where they never close
The party never ends!

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
Music, regardless of the genre, is healing and therapeutic.

You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Pairing up with someone else to dance and enjoy life's little moments is an incredible way to blow off steam and let yourself live in the present moment.

Happy again
Being happy is all about setting the right mood and environment for your own happiness to flourish. Downtown is a perfect facilitator for that.

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Sometimes, in moments of need, the friendliest faces can be found in the most unexpected of places.

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Life can be difficult and overwhelming. That's why we are all in this together - helping each other whenever and wherever we can.

Guide them along
We all need someone to lean on from time to time. Helping others achieve their dreams will in turn help you achieve yours.

So maybe I'll see you there
Friendships can be created in the most unusual of ways.

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
Shared experiences and fun activities will whisk your worries away!

Downtown, everything's waiting for you
The city is alive with possibilities and you have a chance to explore all of them with open arms.
