The Byrds - Tiffany Queen lyrics

rate me

Written by Roger McGuinn

Happiness hit me on the first day that we met

She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget

She was looking my direction and calling with her eyes

I was trying to do an interview and telling them all lies

Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

They were asking what I thought about the 50's rock n roll

Then they got into their limousine and fell into a hole

I moved into the kitchen and I quickly fell in love

The warden came along and asked me what I was thinking of

Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Well I grabbed her by the hand and with a few things I could

The warden said "You're leaving, well, you better leave for good!"

I made it to Tasmania to buy a devil dog

We were met by a young handsome prince, who turned into a frog

Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Now we're living out in Malibu the ocean by our side

Laying in the sunshine drifting with the tide

But happiness had hit me on the first day that we met

She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget

Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Over her head
