A bottle of white...

[MosMom]

a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

Ooooh one of my all time favorite songs.

 

[olena]

My favorite Billy Joel song!

 

[SuiteDisney]

We'll get a table near the street, in our old familiar place,
you and I, face to face.

 

[CamColt]

One of my favorites too.
Bottle of red
Bottle of white

 

[SuiteDisney]

It all depends on your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies

and the king and the queen of the prom

Riding around with the car top down and the radio on.

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

nobody looked any finer, or was more of a hit at the Parkway diner

 

[SuiteDisney]

Oops, we'll just slip this in before Brenda and Eddie...

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 good
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 a song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

how could I have missed that part of the song?!!!

 

[damo]

let's just finish this up


Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
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
A 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 '75
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.

A bottle of red, and bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
