verse 1
I remember when you were only seventeen
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 toured 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
verse 2
Oh what a time it was what a time to be alive
Remember Janice and Jimmy Kennedy and King how they cried
I sang to you the songs of Ramblin' Jack
You were Greta Garbo and I was Karolac
And we played so hard and we loved so hard seemed we never ever slept
They were crazy days they were wonderful days and I loved you with all of my
heart
Seems like only yesterday under the stars on Brighton Beach
Bridge
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 off distant shore
verse 3
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 tonight 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
