Made in Japan

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
My transistor radio comes from far away And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day I remember all the good times I had a walkin in the sand With the beautiful girl that I met made in Japan The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest dreams Like cherry blossoms moving in the mountain in the early spring As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my hand That's when I fell deep in love with the girl made in Japan In the dark of night we would lay on Tokoy Bay And the singin of the birds woke us up at the break of day Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to understand All the love in my heart for the girl made in Japan My transistor radio comes from far away And when it's night over here over there it's a breakin day She cried when she said she'd been promised to another man That's when I left my heart with the girl made in Japan Yes my heart will always be with the girl made in Japan.
