Brighton Beach - Allan Taylor
Young girl so pretty
Young boy not a hair on his face
They're looking out at the big wide world
This was their time this was their place
He says One day I will make you mine
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Brighton beach in nineteen fifty-nine
Young woman flowers in her hair
Young man plays a mean guitar
So cosmic but this is the Sixties
Everything is far out way too far
Revolution is in the air
But everyone is "stoned" and they don't care
cuz it's New York in nineteen sixty-nine
Everybody changes as time goes by
But we can make it if we try
Another city bright lights
A winning streak you're hitting the heights
Another face you want to get to know
Everybody says it's the "way to go"
Maybe you came on just a little too strong
Maybe you played too hard
and it all went wrong
But it was London town in nineteen seventy-nine
Change partners change of scene
Kids get stuck somewhere in-between
No problem we can work it out
But things get broken and people shout
she feels guilty
thinking she should have stayed
He gets scared 'cause the bills aren't paid
It was somewhere in suburbia in nineteen eighty-nine
Everybody changes as time goes by
But we can make it if we try
Take is easy take it slow
There's not much more you need to know
Looking back on the times you've had
Hang on to the good forget the bad
Take one last look down memory lane
It's good to be starting over again
Brighton beach in nineteen ninety-nine
