It's raining down sorrow and nothing but bad news You know I've had it up to here living with these blues But I won't let it get me down, it's not the only game in town In my mind, I'm goin' to Swing Street I'm a dreamer on a rough road And I need to hear the music once again When there's nothing but bad news, I've got a way to beat the blues I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street We can dance there, there's a chance there Of finding a little romance there You don't know who you'll meet When you're down on Swing Street Lose your blues in a minute Cop a groove and you're in it I'm tellin' you once, I'm tellin' you twice Better take my advice If you're weepin' and you're wailin' I've got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin, Count to four and grab my hand say I'll meet you by the band You and I , we're goin' to Swing Street Give yourself to the rhythm And every wrong is forgiven You may even lose the bluest of blues Get back on your feet When your best friends turn to strangers And one more workin' day don't seem worth all the changes Just reach out and take my hand and I'll meet you by the band You and I, we're goin' to Swing Street Yes you and I, we're going to go to Swing Street YEAH! |

See I flew in from the West Coast
Just the other day. Yes, I flew in from the West Coast and we circled J.F.K. 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, yea. 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, and that can start you singin' singin' the Brooklyn Blues. Oh, yea. 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, that 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 'n' roll 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 |

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the skys the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall When stars are bright you are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain |

Love slips away and we move on
Night becomes the dawn Words tear us up just like a storm Now love is gone leaving us strangers The morning sky fills with rain Nothing feels the same Time leaves me remembering dreams And places we've been And how it all changes Once when you were mine We lived within a world all our own Once when you were mine Once there was a time Love slips away and we move on |

One more time
As we lie by the firelight Let me hold you Til you have to go away Don't let it end Let me pretend you'll stay One more thrill While we're still in our solitude One more moment I can touch you tenderly Can this be real? Doesn't it feel like a fantasy? When the night moves on I'm afraid you'll be gone With no reason or rhyme So if I borrow A bit of tomorrow Is that such a crime? Why can't we make believe That the evening has just begun Close your eyes to the rising sun And hold me one more time When the night moves on I'm afraid you'll be gone With no reason or rhyme So if I borrow A bit of tomorrow Is that such a crime? Why can't we make believe That the evening has just begun Close your eyes to the rising sun And hold me one more time |
