The Lights Are Much Brighter There

This is my Christmas card to the city of Chicago.

This is not your typical Christmas sing-a-long...

In fact the pictures are Christmas

But the music is not.

so you can sing along!

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 and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're

Downtown,

 no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you.

Downtown.  

Downtown.

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you

There are movie shows 

Downtown.

 Maybe you know

Some little places to go to
Where they never close.

 Downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova

You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over.
Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there.
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown 

where all the lights are bright.

 Downtown

Waiting for you tonight.

 Downtown

You're gonna be alright, now.

Downtown.

Downtown.

Downtown.

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you.

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand

 to
guide them along

So,

Maybe I'll see you there.

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares,

And go

DOWNTOWN

Things'll be great when you're

Downtown!

Don't wait a minute more.

Downtown,

Everything's waiting for you.
