“Only in Chicago” by Barry Manilow
[Verse 1]
With the twilight colors falling
And the evening laying shadows
Hidden memories come to mind
And though the night is hazy
And the light is almost gone
The image of your face I see
It comes to me, it comes to me
[Chorus]
So clearly, like the moon in the sky
So clearly, let the night pass me by
And when the morning comes
I’ll be needing you so
Only in Chicago
[Verse 2]
And sometimes when I’m lonely
And I wonder what I’m doing
When I stand out on the street
And though my life is going
So far beyond my vision In my heart
I see your face
It comes to me, it comes to me
[Chorus]
So clearly, like the moon in the sky
So clearly, let the night pass me by
And when the morning comes
I’ll be needing you so Only in Chicago
[Bridge]
Oh, oh,
Chicago
Only in Chicago
[Chorus]
So clearly, like the moon in the sky
So clearly, let the night pass me by
And when the morning comes
I’ll be needing you so
Only in Chicago
This song captures the essence of longing and nostalgia, with the city of Chicago serving as a backdrop for the emotional narrative. Manilow’s emotive delivery and melodic composition highlight his ability to convey deep emotions through his music.
