“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.
