My Seaside Brown-Eyed Girl
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
My favorite person in the world,
My seaside, brown-eyed girl,
I'm in love with you,
You to me ring true;
Don't know what I'll do about you.
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
Speaks in words that shine as pearls;
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
Oh, the things you say,
But it's not okay,
You're so far away each day.
I'm in Tennessee,
You're not here with me,
You're in Springsteen land,
Summer waves an' sand;
Where's it all work out?
North or south of doubt?
What's the master plan, Diane?
My seaside brown-eyed girl
Smiles an' stars an' stripes unfurl;
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
I need you tonight,
Not a star in sight,
Make that airplane flight alright.
Repeat bridge
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
My favorite person in the world,
My seaside brown-eyed girl,
I'm in love with you,
You to me ring true;
Don't know what I'd do without you.
