Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And we'll walk down the avenue again
And we'll sing all the songs from way back when, yeah
And we'll walk down the avenue again
And the healing has begun
[Verse 2]
And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue, and we'll smile
And we'll say, "Baby, ain't it all worth while?"
When the healing has begun
[Verse 3]
I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet, and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you, yes, yes, yes
When the healing has begun
When the healing has begun
[Verse 4]
When you hear the music ringin' in your soul
And you feel it in your heart, and it grows and grows and
And it came from the backstreet, rock and roll
And the healing has begun
That's where it comes from, man
[Verse 5]
I want you to put on your, your old summer red dress, come on now
Put on your Easter bonnet, and all the rest, yeah
And I wanna make love to you, yes, yes
When the healing has begun, ow
[Verse 6]
I can't stand myself now
[Verse 7]
We'll make music underneath the stars
We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars, yeah
And we'll sit there for playing, and hours
For hours, and hours, and hours, and hours
And hours, and hours, and hours, and hours
When the healing has begun
And hours, and hours, and hours, and hours
When the, when the healing has begun
[Verse 8]
When it is , listen, listen, listen, listen
I didn't know you stayed up so late
Ah, you know, I just got home from a, from a gig
And I saw you standing on the street
And baby it's time to move on up here to this windowsill, little bit here
Yeah, as I got somethin, dig some sherry, some love
A drop of port
Yeah, um, why don't you come on in behind, uh
Behind this door, here
Oh yes, just move on up this, uh, this, uh, letter box, and
Why don't we just go in to your, uh, uh front room, and, uh
We just sit down and sip tea
I'll just move on a lil', a lil' bit now
Yeah, I gotta play this Muddy Waters record, yeah
You got here
Uh , if you just open up a little bit, uh
And just let me come on in, ya know
Some, uh, backstreet jelly roll, yeah
[Verse 9]
We'll all stay out, all night long
And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field
Babe, ah, you know how I feel
When the healing has begun
When the healing, when the healing has begun
[Verse 10]
When the healing, when the healing has begun
We're gonna dance, uh
We're gonna stay out all night long
We're gonna dance to the rock and roll, oh
When the healing has begun
Oh baby, now ya just
Lemme ease on a lil' bit
Ya dig this
Backstreet jellyroll
And the healing, and the healing has begun
And, and the healing has begun
And the healing, and the healing
Healing has begun, now now now
