Manhattan Blue
Theo Tams Lyrics

I picture you wrapped in rays of gold
I envision you basking in a beautiful golden radiance.

I know that move, you turn your head so slow
I am familiar with the way you gently turn your head in a slow, graceful manner.

Wish I was there 'cause your smile lights up the room
I deeply desire to be present with you and bask in the radiance of your beautiful smile which illuminates any room.

From coast to coast I throw my thoughts to you
My thoughts reach out to you from one end of the country to the other as I long to be with you.

As I paint this town Manhattan blue
I transform the city into a representation of my deep longing and desire for you, with the color blue symbolizing my emotional state.

Up Mercer street in the long light of the day
Moving along Mercer Street during daylight hours, enjoying the extended hours of sunlight.

Through the square where the gypsy singers play
Passing through an area in the city where performers, who are likely of Romani descent, sing and play music publicly.

To the hotel bar where we're all just passing through
Arriving at a hotel bar where people come and go, never truly settling in for a long period of time.

From the other side of midnight, here's to you
Offering a toast to you from the late hours of the night, as another day comes to a close.

As the streetlights start to bleed Manhattan Blue, oh
The streetlights begin to cast a blue hue over the city, reflecting the emotional state of the persona.

I see you there smiling in your sleep
I imagine you peacefully sleeping, serenely smiling in a dream state.

I wanna be the secret that you keep
I deeply desire to be someone who you hold close to your heart as a secret you cherish.

I close my eyes to get the perfect feel
I close my eyes and concentrate, trying to make sure that I fully capture and understand the depth of my emotions.

'Cause I find the night begins and ends with you
My night begins and ends with thoughts of you, and you are the center of my world.

And every color turns Manhattan blue, yeah
Every color in the city fades to shades of blue, representing my emotional connection with you.

I want to believe
I have the strong desire to hold onto the hope of being with you.

And I find it all begins and ends with you
You are the beginning and the end of everything I dream of and desire.

I'm what you need
I believe that I am the one who can fulfill all of the deep desires of your heart.

And with a hope I don't know what I'd do
I cannot imagine what my life would be like without the hope of being with you.

Please wait for me, yeah
Please hold on to hope as I work to make a future together a reality.

Here's to you, here's to you
A toast to the person who holds my heart and all of my desires.

Here's to you, well here's to you
Another, heartfelt cheers to the one who truly fills my heart.

Well here's to you, well here's to you
An additional, earnest and sincere toast to you.

Manhattan blue
An emotional state of longing and desire, represented by the color blue, in a city that is both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time.
