Rod Stewart - Brighton Beach Lyrics
I remember when you were only 17You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seenI guess you found it hard to simply just ignoreThis scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadourSo we fell in love and I tuned your heartWith my out of tune guitarYou were wonderful, you were mysticalAnd the envy of all of my friendsSeems like only yesterdayUnder the stars on brighton beachOh what a time it wasWhat a time to be aliveRemember Janice and JimmyKennedy and KingHow they criedI sang to you the songs of Lamb and JackYou were Greta Garbo and I was CadillacAnd we played so hard and we loved so hardSeemed we never ever sleptThere were crazy days, there were wonderful daysAnd I loved you with all of my heartSeems like only yesterdayUnder the stars on brighton beachYour daddy had plans that did not include meAnd he won't stay away from your doorAnd I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you awayTo some far distant shoreThen early one morningI awoke to find you goneYou wrote 'I love you babyBut it's time for me to move on'And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floorI swear to God I could not have loved you anymoreAnd as I sit here the night, playing with my kidsWondering where you are in this worldDid you find your man, are you happy now?Do you ever stop and think about meHow I long for yesterdayUnder the stars on brighton beach
