Seongah And Jimmy - Neil Diamond

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 a brother

She learns her English

He learns Korean

They learn 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 Point

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 Masters, he helps her study

He has a toothache, she finds a dentist

He says I love you, she knows he means it

She says Saranghae, he knows she means it too

I hear music in the air

People dancing in the street

Loves in blossom everywhere

Even strangers start to greet

Love happens in Brooklyn

I live there long ago, and nothing’s changed

Brought flowers, she took them

They laughed together in the pouring rain, de de de de de de de de de de de

Oh yeah

Seongah and Jimmy

Seongah and Jimmy

Soon they get married, in came their families

Her’s 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
