ON THE STREET WHERE WE GREW UP
(Bobby Vee)


Bobby Vee - 1963



I passed by the street where we grew up
Hoping to run into you again
I sat down on the steps that we once played on
Thinking of our love that might have been

Looking down the street where we grew up
I could see the park across the way
I remembered how we used to meet there
And the times we kissed the night away

But now you're walking down the street
With another guy
Pretending not to know me
The ring on your finger shows me why

When I had your love I owned the world
I was such a fool to let you go
I left everything I ever wanted
On the street where we grew up not long ago

When I had your love I owned the world
I was such a fool to let you go
I left everything I ever wanted
On the street where we grew up not long ago
Ah, on the street where we grew up not long ago
Ah-hah, on the street where we grew up not long ago
