Old Manhattan Melodies Lyrics - Singles - Gary Brooker

(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.
