Barry Manilow Brooklyn Blues Lyrics

Brooklyn Blues Lyrics

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 that 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 have 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
