Neil Diamond Seongah And Jimmy Lyrics

Seongah and Jimmy,
Seongah and Jimmy,
They found each other
downtown in Brooklyn.
She's from Korea.
He's from Long Island.
They found each other,
and they discovered love.
Seongah and Jimmy,
Seongah and Jimmy.
Both have a sister.
Both have brother.
She learns her English.
He learns Korean.
They learned that love is
spoken in many ways.
Seongah
How close can two lovers be?
Each day's a promise:
I'll never let you go.
Seongah
How long must two lovers dream?
My head is reeling
feelings I've never known.
Work in the city,
go there together.
They take the subway
all kinds of weather.
Friends in her office know her as Sarah.
Seongah and Jimmy
work for a better day.
Seongah and Jimmy,
Seongah and Jimmy.
Live near each other
out there in Green Pointe.
Move in together,
promise forever.
She cooks Korean.
He likes Korean, too.
Seongah
Don't be impatient with me.
With you beside me,
nowhere that I can't go. Seongah
Dream how you want love to be.
And I'll make a promise
I'll try to make it so.
She wants her Master's;
he helps her study
He has a toothache;
she finds a dentist.
He says, "I love you."
She knows he means it.
She says, "Salanghae."
He knows she means it, too.
I hear music in the air,
people dancing in the street.
Love's in blossom everywhere.
Even strangers start to greet.
Love happens
in Brooklyn.
I lived there long ago and nothing's changed.
Brought flowers,
She took them
They laughed together in the pouring rain.
Dee dee dee doo doo
Dee dee dee doo doo
Dee dee dee doo doo
Doo dee dee dum
Oh yeah!
Seongah and Jimmy,
Seongah and Jimmy.
Soon they get married.
In came their family,
hers from Korea,
his from Long Island.
They stayed together
and made a joyful day
Seongah and Jimmy,
they had so much to say.
Seongah and Jimmy,
they found a better way.
