The 59th Street Bridge Song
Simon And Garfunkel · The Concert In Central Park [1982]
Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
Hello lampost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is groovy
You've got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
Hello lampost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is groovy

Performed by Simon and Garfunkel, this recording captures the duo's signature acoustic folk style during their 1982 Central Park concert. The track features Peter, Paul, and the members of the band performing together, blending their harmonies with a lively, upbeat tempo that contrasts with their more introspective studio work. Released as part of The Concert In Central Park, the song highlights the group's ability to deliver polished performances while maintaining the organic feel characteristic of their career. It stands as a testament to their enduring appeal and the collaborative spirit that defined their public appearances in the early 1980s.
