Brighton Beach Lyrics - Time - Rod Stewart

I remember when you were only 17 

You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen 

I guess you found it hard to simply just ignore 

This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour 

So we fell in love and I tuned your heart 

With my out of tune guitar 

You were wonderful, you were mystical 

And the envy of all of my friends 

Seems like only yesterday 

Under the stars on Brighton beach 

Oh what a time it was 

What a time to be alive 

Remember Janice and Jimmy 

Kennedy and King 

How they cried

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I sang to you the songs of Lamb and Jack 

You were Greta Garbo and I was Cadillac 

And we played so hard and we loved so hard 

Seemed we never ever slept 

There were crazy days, there were wonderful days 

And I loved you with all of my heart 

Seems like only yesterday 

Under the stars on Brighton beach 

Your daddy had plans that did not include me 

And he won't stay away from your door 

And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away 

To some far distant shore 

Then early one morning 

I awoke to find you gone 

You wrote 'I love you baby 

But it's time for me to move on' 

And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor 

I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore 

And as I sit here the night, playing with my kids 

Wondering where you are in this world 

Did you find your man, are you happy now? 

Do you ever stop and think about me 

How I long for yesterday 

Under the stars on Brighton beach.
