Recorded for my friend Dan Cornell, who had said he prefers the acoustic versions of my songs.

Opera Alley (acoustic version)

I am walking down Opera Alley way
Somehow some things never seem to change.
Couples, hand in hand, stop to browse at shop displays
See who is out and who has come to play.

Across the street is some someone that I used to know.
We glance and look away, there's no "hello."
She slips on by, you know, she's just a piece of yesterday
You never do forget. I know she knows.

Opera Alley's seen the best of me, I know.
It's seen the worst. It knows my past.
Opera Alley, where did the good times go.
To the bottem of an hourglass.

Sunny afternoons are just the perfect thing for me.
I stroll alone and take in every scene.
Opera Alley knows what I think and feel.
Knows when I'm in and when I'm in between.

Opera Alley's seen the best of me, you know.
It knows that some things just can't last.
Opera Alley, where did the good times go?
Good times always go so fast.

I can't turn back time or summon any yesterdays.
If I could I'd surely have it made.
I would right my wrongs and honor all my promises.
Make up for mistakes made along the way.
