Gary Brooker - Old Manhattan Melodies lyrics

(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.
