Brooklyn I'm Calling
Brooklyn, I'm calling to tell you I'm sorryI know that don't mean much nowYou were young and I was wrongAnd I know this is just a songI ain't askin' for another go 'roundI just thought maybe you'd forgive me somehowAndrea you said that I can't commitYou told me to look for GeorgiaAnd that's what I didHoney you deserve a star, because that's exactly what youareAnd I hope your new lover is true'cause those sad eyes, they weren't made for youAnd oh, sweet Tess, I wish you the bestWith your debutante and your suitorsAt the circus of your pastOh honey it was you to bring me my first tuneAnd I thank you from the bottom of my heartEven though you were doomed from the startYet of all my friends, you stick by me againAnd you say you'd ride this rusty train 'til it endsYeah because I've been around the worldJust singing about a girlSongtexteNever once, did you call me a foolI hope some day, to make it up to youTo my mother, to my father, to my sister back homeAnd you know I want to tell you, of those things that I'vedoneOh and I've not forgottenYes and I think about you oftenYou say that you're proud every step of the wayAnd you know, it keeps me going these daysOh my Sally, I hold you so highI can't find the words, though I've tried and triedAnd sometimes, you're crazyAnd sometimes, you've saved meWouldn't have had it any other wayAnd you know, it keeps me going, these days Aus Songtexte Mania
