Kelly Clarkson - It's Quiet Uptown Lyrics
[Verse 1]There are moments that the words don't reachThere is suffering too terrible to nameYou hold your child as tight as you canThen push away the unimaginableThe moments when you're in so deepFeels easier to just swim downAnd so they move uptownAnd learn to live with the unimaginableI spend hours in the gardenI walk alone to the storeAnd it's quiet uptownI never liked the quiet beforeI take the children to church on SundayA sign of the cross at the doorAnd I prayThat never used to happen before[Chorus]If you see him in the street walking by himselfTalking to himself, have pityYou would like it uptown, it's quiet uptownHe is working through the unimaginableHis hair has gone grey, he passes every dayThey say he walks the length of the cityYou knock me out, I fall apartCan you imagine?[Verse 2]Look at where we areLook at where we startedI know I don't deserve youBut hear me out, that would be enoughIf I could spare his lifeIf I could trade his life for mineHe'd be standing here right nowAnd you would smileAnd that would be enoughI don't pretend to knowThe challenges we're facingI know there's no replacing what we've lostAnd you need timeBut I'm not afraidI know who I marriedJust let me stay here by your sideAnd that would be enough[Chorus]If you see him in the street, walking by her sideTalking by her side, have pityDo you like it uptown? It's quiet uptownHe is trying to do the unimaginableIf you see him walking in the park, long after darkTaking in the sights of the cityLook around, look around, look aroundThey are trying to do the unimaginable[Verse 3]There are moments that the words don't reachThere's a grace too powerful to nameWe push away what we could never understandWe push away the unimaginableThey are standing in the gardenStanding there side by sideShe takes his handIt's quiet uptownForgiveness, can you imagine?Forgiveness, can you imagine?[Chorus]If you see him in the street, walking by her sideTalking by her side, have pityLook around, look aroundThey are going through the unimaginable
