Dean Friedman

Lydia

by Dean Friedman
Dean Friedman

Biography:

In the summer of 1977, Dean Friedman marked his entry into US pop consciousness with the enormous success (his only American hit, it peaked at #26) of his infectious hit single Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, music loving, vegetarian Jewish girl in a peasant blouse who lived, as the lyric goes, "...way on the other side of the Hudson."

A year later, Friedman struck a chord in the UK, this time with a magical duet (performed with singer Denise Marsa) entitled Lucky Stars.

F# E Ebm
Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains.
E F#
Well, hardly ever. And then jokingly she says
E Ebm
Boy, it's been so long since I held you, I nearly gave you up for dead.
E
I nearly gave you up for dead.
C#m C#
I nearly gave you up for dead.

Chorus:
F# B
Lydia, Lydia how come you understand?
E
I can offer you nothing at all.
Ebm C#sus4 - C#
This is more than I had planned.
F# B E
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
G#m
Then, I must be off again.
D E F#
I must be off again

F# E
Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions
Ebm
About running my own life.
E F#
Well, maybe I'm fooling myself, it's a role I like to play.
E
Because more often than not I'm down here on the corner.
Ebm
I'm sorry I woke you.
E
Do you feel like some company?
C#m C# F#
Babe, I need a place to stay.


Repeat chorus

Orchestra solo: Same chords as in verse:

Repeat chorus


F# E
I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child.
Ebm
Well, maybe I am.
E
No, that wouldn't surprise anyone.
F#
I suspect that much is true.
E Ebm
But, Lydia, if you only knew how much I love you.
E
Did you know that I love you?
C#m C#
It's the best that I can do.


Chorus
