Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

                bottle of white, a bottle of red
                     Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
                           Well get a table near the street
                      In our old familiar place
                                  
You and I - face to face

              bottle of red, a bottle of white
                           
It all depends upon your appetite
                          I'll meet you any time you want
          С   In our italian restaurant.
                    Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
               Got a new wife, got a new life
                  And the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
You could ever look so nice after so much time.

I remember those days hanging out at the village green
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the song about new orleans
          Cold beer, hot lights
С                        My sweet romantic teenage nights

   
                    
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
                                     D-And the king and the queen of the prom
                                                  C- C-Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
                       D-Nobody looked any finer
                           Or was more of a hit at the parkway diner
                                               We never knew we could want more than that out of life
                                                  Surely brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddy were still going steady in the summer of 65
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of july
Everyone said they were crazy
Brenda you know you're much too lazy
Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life.
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

They got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a couple of paintings from Sears
big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears.

They lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you can never go back there again.

Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of 65
From the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up the pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more than I told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

bottle of red, a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I''ll meet you anytime you want
In our italian restaurant.
