Oscar Benton-Bensonhurst Blues
Bay Parkway wonder
You're such a success
Your pretty secretary, ha
She say you are the best

Your face always smiling
say you sure paid your dues
But I know inside
You've got the Bensonhurst blues

Those custom-made ciggies
that you offer to me pretend
and pretend to care about my family

And those pictures on your desk
All them lies that you abuse
Do they know you suffer
from the Bensonhurst blues

Your grandmother's accent
still embarrasses you
You're even ashamed
of the French you once knew

You're part of the chance now
They break you making the news
But I know inside
you've got the Bensonhurst blues

But thanks for the lesson
Cause the life that I choose
won't make me feel like living
with the Bensonhurst blues

And don't, don't try to write me
And don't bother to call
Cause I'll be in conference
Merry Christmas you all




Oscar Benton - If You Go Away
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew In the summer sky
When our love was new and our heart was high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's sang

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees we'll worship the wind
And if you go I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
As I'm the real must there'll be nothing left
In the world to trust just an empty room
Full of empty space like the empty look
I see on your face I'll be the shadow
Of your shadow I fell you might have kept me be your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if You stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees we'll worship the wind
And if you go I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away
If you go away
