Amarillo Lyrics - Brainstorm

[limited edition bous track] 

[originally performed by Tony Chrisie as "Is this the way to amarillo"] 

[written by Howard Greenfield & Neil Sedaka (EMI Songs Musikverlag & Sony/ATV Music)] 

Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala 

When the day is dawningon a Texas Sunday morning 

how I long to be there 

with Marie who's waiting for me there 

every lonely city where I hang my hat 

ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at 

Is this the way to Amarillo 

every night I've been hugging my pillow 

dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me 

show me the way to Amarillo 

I've been weeping like a willow 

crying over Amarillo 

and sweet Marie who waits for me 

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me 

There's a church bell ringing 

hear the song of joy that it's singing 

for the sweet Maria and the guy who's coming to see her 

just beyond the highway, there's an open plain 

and it keeps me going through the wind and rain 

Is this the way to Amarillo 

every night I've been hugging my pillow 

dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me 

show me the way to Amarillo 

I've been weeping like a willow 

crying over Amarillo 

and sweet Marie who waits for me 

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me
