Lewis Allan Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock singer-songwriter and guitarist. He first came to prominence as the guitarist and principal singer-songwriter of The Velvet Underground (1965-1973). The band gained little mainstream attention during their career, but became one of the most influential of their era. As the Velvets’ principal songwriter, Reed wrote about subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined in rock and roll, including bondage and S&M ("Venus in Furs"), transvestites ("Sister Ray" and "Candy Says"), drug culture ("Heroin" and "I'm Waiting for the Man"), and transsexual people undergoing sex reassignment surgery ("Lady Godiva's Operation"). As a guitarist, he was a pioneer in the use of distortion, high volume feedback, and nonstandard tunings. Wikipedia

In Berlin, by the wall You were five foot ten inches tall It was very nice Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice		We were in a small cafe You could hear the guitars play It was very nice It was paradise
You're right and I'm wrong Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone One sweet day		Oh, you're right and I'm wrong You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone One sweet day One sweet day
In a small, small cafe We could hear the guitars play It was very nice Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice		Don't forget, hire the vet He hasn't had much fun yet It was very nice Hey honey, it was paradise
You're right and I'm wrong Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone One sweet day You're right, oh, and I'm wrong You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone One sweet day, one sweet day		One sweet day One sweet day, oh, one sweet day One sweet day, baby, baby, one sweet day ...
