Lyrics

[00:20.41] Young girl, so pretty
[00:24.55] Young boy, not a hair on his face
[00:28.61] They're looking out at the big wide world
[00:33.55] This was their time, this was their place
[00:37.67] He says, "One day I will make you mine
[00:42.92] We'll be together 'til the end of time"
[00:47.61] Brighton beach in nineteen fifty-nine
[01:01.29] Young woman, flowers in her hair
[01:05.82] Young man plays a mean guitar
[01:10.49] So cosmic, but this is the Sixties
[01:14.66] Everything is far out, way too far
[01:19.45] Revolution is in the air
[01:23.40] But everyone is "stoned" and they don't care
[01:28.02] cuz it's New York in nineteen sixty-nine
[01:37.43] Everybody changes as time goes by
[01:46.32] But we can make it if we try
[01:55.19] Another city, bright lights
[01:59.65] A winning streak, you're hitting the heights
[02:04.30] Another face you want to get to know
[02:08.40] Everybody says it's the "way to go"
[02:13.11] Maybe you came on just a little too strong
[02:16.51] Maybe you played too hard
[02:19.46] and it all went wrong
[02:21.42] But it was London town in nineteen seventy-nine
[02:35.86] Change partners, change of scene
[02:39.31] Kids get stuck somewhere in-between
[02:44.15] No problem, we can work it out
[02:48.03] But things get broken, and people shout
[02:53.11] she feels guilty
[02:54.55] thinking she should have stayed
[02:57.46] He gets scared 'cause the bills aren't paid
[03:01.18] It was somewhere in suburbia in nineteen eighty-nine
[03:11.04] Everybody changes as time goes by
[03:19.81] But we can make it if we try
[03:28.37] Take is easy, take it slow
[03:32.79] There's not much more you need to know
[03:37.35] Looking back on the times you've had
[03:41.37] Hang on to the good, forget the bad
[03:46.28] Take one last look down memory lane
[03:49.97] It's good to be starting over again
[03:54.85] Brighton beach in nineteen ninety-nine
