Scenes From An Italian Restaurant Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

A bottle of white, a bottle of red 

Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead 

We'll get a table near the street 

In our old familiar place 

You and I - face to face 

A bottle of red, a bottle of white 

It all depends on your appetite 

I'll meet you any time you want 

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 good after so much time

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You remember those days hangin' 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 

My sweet romantic teenage nights 

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 

Nobody looked any finer 

Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner 

We never knew we could want more than that outta life 

Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive 

Brenda and Eddie were still goin' steady in the Summer of '75 

When they decided the marriage'd 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 kinda life 

Oh, but there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye 

Photos 

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 their 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, a bottle of white 

Whatever kinda mood you're in tonight 

I'll meet you anytime you want 

In our Italian restaurant
