Sedaka, Neil - 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
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
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?...

Sedaka, Neil Amarillo Comments
Nice! Enjoyed it.
I have this LP dated in 1977.
Lovely! Ciao, Neil!
Neil Sedaka truly is a talented musician. His music makes my feel so happy, inspired and nostalgic 💜
Talented? He's the best!
Yes! Totally agree.
Preciosa!!!
I like this version by Neil Sedaka, the original writer of this song but to me the classic and best version is the one sung by Tony Christie in 1971 as 'Is This The Way To Amarillo'
Long way from NYC
I've always loved Neil's harmony, with himself, in the chorus. Oh, and, just saw/heard, for the first time, Brit Tony Christie's version. 'Followed that up, with their duet-also, hearing, for the first time-nice!

Nooo, there's a fade-out at the end! I can't stand fade-outs :(
what's wrong with them xD
Nice to hear Tony Christies smash hit from -71 by the songwriter himself!
One of my favourite songs to put on in the car when I do Route 66 road trips in the summer, as it's "the highway" mentioned.

Good call, KG2STV; this, indeed, would be a great driving song!
Amazing!
Great song, in either his own version or Tony C's!
