Lyrics: And we’ll walk down the avenue again And we’ll sing all the songs from way back when And we’ll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun 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 worthwhile When the healing has begun 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 you hear the music ringin’ in your soul And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun That is where It comes from 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 And the healing has begun We’re gonna make music underneath the stars We’re gonna play to the violin and the two guitars We’re gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun (Spoken:) Wait a minute, listen, listen I didn’t know you stayed up so late I just got home from a gig and I saw You standing on the street Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah I got some sherry You want a drop of port Let’s move behind this door here Let’s move on up behind this letter-box behind this door Let’s go in your front room Let’s play this Muddy Waters record you got there If you just open up a little bit And let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll We’re gonna stay out all night long And then we’re gonna go out and roam across the field Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun When the healing, when the healing We’re gonna stay out all night long We’re gonna dance to the rock & roll When the healing when the healing has begun Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll
