Piccadilly Circus

(album: Swing - 2003)

Dinner and the opera
All so prim and proper
Still it seemed the night was young
So under my umbrella
We set out to find the place
Everybody told us about

Piccadilly Circus
Has a way to work its
Magic on the unaware
A rainy night in London always finds
A stream of unsuspecting valentines

High atop a fountain
Cupid sits a-counting
Candidates for true romance
Dizzy as a dickens
We were easy pickings
Piccadilly Circus
Never gave us half a chance

The magic of that evening
Was destined to be fleeting
Sadly, just a brief affair
But I can still recapture in my mind
A perfect picture of that place and time

Bare feet in the puddles
Carefree little cuddles
Two silly lovebirds on parade
Midnight tower bell chimes
A kiss that seemed to melt time

Piccadilly Circus
Why'd you steal my heart away?
I'll always remember
That scene of sweet surrender
Piccadilly Circus
Just like it was yesterday
