A GIFT OF LOVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Here in this sighlent night
Now all the world is right
As if we’sundenley been giving
A gift of love
A gift of love
Warm as the fire glow
Soft as the falling snow
A pre….. micael we live in
This wonder of a gift of love
Night falls
At this coldest time of the year
Love calls
Here where I love you so
Now as our blessings grow
We shear the greatest gift we’ll ever know
A gift of love
A gift of love
HALFWAY OVER THE HILL
***************
I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky
but don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on
I’ve been running all my life
lord , I’ve run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people grieveing
seeing towns I don’t remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky
don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELING
***************
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You’re trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it…
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling,
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Now it’s gone…gone…gone…wooooooh.
Now there’s no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your’re starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
‘Cause baby, something in you is dying.
You lost that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling,
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Now it’s gone…gone…gone…woooooah
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
We had a love…a love…a love you don’t find everyday.
So don’t…don’t…don’t…don’t let it slip away.
Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please…please,
I need your love (I need your love),
I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back),
Bring it on back (so bring it on back).
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
‘Cause it’s gone…gone…gone,
And I can’t go on,
Noooo…
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
‘Cause it’s gone…gone…
LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT (ACOUSTIC)
***************
There you are
Looking just the same as you did last time I touched you
And here I am
Close to getting tangled up in side the thought of you
Do you love him
As much as I love her
And will that love be strong
When old feelings start to stir
Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there everywhere
And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Loves so strange
Playing hide and seek with hearts and always hurting
And we’re the fools
Standing close enough to touch those burning memories
And if I hold you
For the sake of all those times
Love made us lose our minds
Could I ever let you go
Woh no we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there,everywhere
And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Ohhhhh we made it
Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there, everywhere
And all I could taste is love the way we made it
Looks like we made it
Woh babe we made it
COME DANCE WITH ME / COME FLY WITH ME
***************
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin’ boots and come dance with me,
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
Pretty face, I know a swingin’ place, come on dance with me,
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I’ll be sayin’,
For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin’.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we’ll be,
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Come fly with me, let’s fly let’s fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There’s a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly, lets fly away
Come fly with me, let’s float down to Peru
In lama land, there’s a one man band
And he’ll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, lets take of in the blue
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I’ll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer – cause were together
Weather wise it’s such a lovely day
Just say the words, and we’ll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It’s perfect, for a flying honeymoon – they say
Come fly with me
Come on ,come on,come dance with me
Come on,come on,come fly
Come on and dance with me
SLEPT THROUGH THE END OF THE WORLD
***************
I see a ceiling
Four walls
Guess you all went away
An hour ago we were laughing
Lovers and friends
Maybe that was yesterday
So what’s the deal?
Did I miss something real?
When I slept through the end of the world
Nobody answers at all
I call
And there’s nobody there
How long since I’ve lifted my head now
Crawled out of bed
How long since anyone cared?
So now I lose?
Lie alone in the blues?
Cause I slept through the end of the world
Losing is a story I remember
Alone is a feeling that I know
Been awhile since losing shook me
Took me down so low
Yes it has
How could this ride be all over?
Four walls are all I see
I’m tellin’ the shadows and echoes
Shoulda told you
But I was wrapped up in me
So here I wait
Gettin’ used to too late
Cause I slept through the end of the world
