Brooklyn Blues (Digitally Remastered: 1996)

Brooklyn Blues (Digitally Remastered: 1996) - Barry Manilow/Stan Getz/Diane Schuur

See I flew in from the West Coast

Just the other day

Yes I flew in from the West Coast

And we circled JFK

The movie ended and I pulled up the shade

Looked out the window while the Muzak played

But in my head I'm singin

Singin the Brooklyn Blues Oh yeah

When you're growin up in Brooklyn

The Bridge is like a friend

Said when you're growin up in Brooklyn

That Bridge is sure your friend

Because that river looks a hundred miles wide

When all your dreams are on the other side

That can start you singin

Singin the Brooklyn Blues Oh yeah

Now I've got myself some money

A mansion in Bel-aire

Yes I've spent a lot of money

And I've been most everywhere

But still there's somethin

Missin I've got to find

A part of me I must've left behind

Makes a guy start feelin

Feelin those Brooklyn Blues My my

I've sung love songs to a princess

More than once or twice

I"ve sung rock nroll in Paris

Jazz in paradise

But there's a song of mine I couldn't have sung

A tune I started back when I was young

Now I've come home to finish

Finish my Brooklyn Blues

My Brooklyn Blues
