Streets of Brooklyn - Annika Vitolo

My homemade music video for a song I wrote about my hometown of Brooklyn USA! Spread the love like a cream cheese schmear on a nice Brooklyn bagel!

Stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk
Ain't worried 'bout no bad things happening to me
Ain't looking back at where I been. Just where I want to be

I was just a kid. I didn't know what I wanted
He was just a kid. I left him brokenhearted
Would he wait, would he wait, would he wait for me?
Yeah. Would he wait for me?

Everything I'll ever need I found, on the streets of Brooklyn
I'm coming back around
This place is home and it's got him
It took some time to find my way
Go tell him that I'm here to stay
On the streets of Brooklyn

The scenery has changed
This place has gotten more run down
Passed the places we used to hang
I'd smile when he'd come around

We'd walk the avenue, holding hands and laughing
Somehow I always knew
I'd come on back to where it all began
Did he wait for me? Yeah. Did he wait for me?

Everything 'll ever need I found, on the streets of Brooklyn
Hell I'm not backing down
I'm gonna keep on looking for him
Ain't nothing getting in my way
I'm gonna get him back someday

Everything I need to know
I learned on the streets of Brooklyn
I left a long long time ago
But my heart stayed here with him

Everything I'll ever need I found on the streets of Brooklyn
I'm coming back around
This place is home and it's got him
I hope it's not too late for me
I wonder did he wait for me?

He's leaning on my old front gate
Turns to me, says "you're pretty late"
"Whouda thought you'd take this long to get ready for our date?"
"Of course I'd wait, on the streets of Brooklyn"
So glad he stayed..... on the streets of Brooklyn

Thank you so much for this video and especially for your awesome song! I was smiling the entire time I was watching. Left Brooklyn in the 70's to live in PA. Now I'm all the way out in Arizona and would move back in a heartbeat. Brooklyn was the most wonderful place to be raised and the people were fantastic. Truly a wonderful community.

That was so awesome...I am in tears. I left Brooklyn in the '80s (I live in Bucks County, Pa. which is not really far from Brooklyn...but just far enough to make going there a challenge...Brooklyn will always be in my heart. You captured my life in this video. Thank you so much.

I left Brooklyn during the "Blizzard of 78" to live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Your video was well made and reminded me of simpler times past.

continued success to you on your journey.

Like others here, I left Brooklyn in the mid 70's, lived in Delaware for about 1½ years, then in PA to the present ... but Brooklyn has NEVER left me. I still have family and friends in Brooklyn and in and around the NYC area. I get back to the city as often as I can now. I miss the cultural diversity, the music, and the people.
