Memories of an interesting time in my life...
The Paradise Balcony © Minyard 2005 I was a young GI just home from the war Livin’ through those re-adjustment blues I went out for a ride in my daddy’s old car No agenda, just an early evening cruise Thought I’d catch a flick down at the Paradise when I walked up to the window to pay The girl in the booth looked into my eyes we both knew there was nothing left to say Chorus Up in the Paradise balcony Just my baby and me There in the flicker of the movie screen We found ecstasy She was the only star my eyes could see Up in the Paradise balcony An old fashioned movie house at 5th and Main Most folks didn’t go there anymore But the Paradise theatre lived up to it’s name When we got inside that balcony door Now when I go out to the cinema I always smile As I think of all the movie roles we played She’s still fresh in my mind though it’s been quite a while Been no sequel to the romance we made Up in the Paradise balcony Just my baby and me There in the flicker of the movie screen We found ecstasy She was the only star my eyes could see Up in the Paradise balcony Bridge From Here to Eternity The Day the Earth Stood Still Easy Rider, baby, I remember the thrill… Up in the Paradise balcony Just my baby and me There in the flicker of the movie screen We found ecstasy She was the only star my eyes could see Up in the Paradise balcony
