Brooklyn Blues Lyrics - Barry Manilow

(with Tom Scott) 

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, 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.

NEW SONG: Chris Brown - Don't Check On Me Lyrics ft. Justin Bieber 

Because that river, looks a hundred miles wide 

when all your dreams are on the other side, 

and th at 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, 

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.
