Always thinking of the future...
When you're alone and life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares
So go downtown, Belladonna Cove
(lyrics by Petula Clark).
