Brighton Beach

歌詞

I remember when you were only 17 You were the finest girl that my eyes have ever seen I guess you found it hard To simply just ignore This scruffy, beat-up, working-class, teenage troubadour So we fell in love And I toured your heart With my out of tune guitar You were wonderful You were mystical And the envy of all of my friends (Chorus) Seems like only yesterday Under the stars on Brighton Beach Oh what a time it was What a time to be alive Remember Janis and Jimmy Kennedy and King, how we cried I sang to you the songs of Ramblin'Jack You were Greta Garbo and I was Kerouac And we played so hard And we loved so hard Seemed we never ever slept They were crazy days They were wonderful days And I loved you with all of my heart (Chorus) Oh your Daddy had plans that did not include me And he warned, stay away from your door And I dreamed, how I dreamed, that I could steal you away To some far off, distant shore Then early one morning, I woke to find you gone You wrote "I love you baby, but it's time for me to move on." And so my teenage heart lay scattered on the floor I swear to God, I could not have loved you any more And as I sit here tonight playing with my kids Wondering where you are in this world Did you find your man? Are you happy now? Do you ever stop and think about me? Oh how I long for yesterday Under the stars on Brighton Beach
