Neil Sedaka - (Is This The Way To) Amarillo Lyrics






When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning,
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waitin' 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 weepin' like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me.

Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me.

There's a church bell ringing,
Hear the sound of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's comin' to see her.
Just beyond the highway
Lies an open plain
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain.

Is this the way to Amarillo?...

Neil Sedaka (Is This The Way To) Amarillo Comments
  1. G.... W....

    How can anyone not love this? So much fun!

  2. p.... ....

    Great show, wish I'd seen it live first hand. Neil Sedaka, and this is not a disparaging comment at all, looks like a dentist I'd trust totally and completely. One who's a brilliant local anaesthetist and proceeds to be brilliant at the ensuing work. Totally pain free. Free of discomfort even. Back to the music - Neil digs underneath Christie's lead with careful and accurate harmonies. Effortless.

  3. T.... T....

    he never lost his charm after all these years!

  4. A.... D....

    Watching this in 2019, days before the Rugby World Cup, goose bumps all over me.

  5. k.... m....

    *show me show me*

  6. B.... T....

    Fucking flawless and the dude is a pensioner! This is real talent 🙌and how you actually sing not vocal gymnastics! I'm a Heavy Metal and Punk fan but god Damn is Neil good, the best.

  7. n.... f....

    Magical

  8. E.... M....

    Saw him at Southport Theater in the early 90s. He was a pot bellied middle aged man back then but he still seems to be going strong. He's just a consummate musical pro who revels in his art. My whole dysfunctional family went and had a great time, one of the few things we could agree on. He looks so alive and healthy here. Great video.

  9. G.... O....

    Marvellous voice. Great song writer too

  10. R.... S....

    Brilliant on Route 66 must go there !!!!!

  11. s.... ....

    So happy, so whacky.
    I bet sesane street characters Bert and Ernie were modelled on Tony and Neil. :)

  12. I.... H....

    Zwei Legenden. Toll

    I love the incredible piano playing on this song. Both of them are having a ball. I love the change in the piano when he hits the high keys. The singing is fantastic too.

  17. s.... ....

    Every time i listen to this (past 10000 times) my mouth is fixed in a permanent smile. <3

  18. M.... B....

    rewelacyjne wykonanie !!!

  19. R.... S....

    This is what evolves when USA chooses NS as their Tchaikovsky piano candidate and he starts singing composing and playing !!!

  20. 7.... ....

    Can't believe Neil Sedaka is not in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    7.... ....

    It is crazy that Neil is not in the HOF. They are a farse without Neil.
