Barry Manilow – Brooklyn Blues Lyrics  Share

From Barry Manilow's album: Swing Street

(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.

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
[ Brooklyn Blues lyrics from

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.
