Real Time - Deanna Bogart

i was too young for disco

too late for the hop

didn’t get to woodstock

missed the birth of bop

and i wonder what it was like in real time

all night jammin'

in that kansas city town

lester blew his horn charlie dug the sound

and i wonder what it was like in real time

do you know

when your standing in a moment

i’d really like to know

i learned how we began

from a book that i read

it all sounded good but i’m not that easily led

i wonder what it was like in real time

a man had a dream

that all could be free

and woke up everybody in 1963

i wonder what it was like in real time

i was playing in berlin

on the west side of town

sometime during the gig the wall came down

and i was right there in real time

it was the middle of a monday

the sun in the sky

the world opened up when i heard my baby cry

i was right there in real time
