A LITTLE TRAVELING MUSIC PLEASE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
On the road so long and lonely
Can’t believe I’m headed home to stay
God I miss my one and only
A little traveling music please
Seems we’re always seperating
Still she doesn’t let me lose my way
Home is anywhere she’s waiting
A little traveling music please
I may forget how much I care
But once I’ve left her laughter
Two and three days after
I’m aware how much I miss her there
This time I’ll stay home forever
Hold her close and turn the world away
Even if it’s not forever
It it’ll keep me from unraveling
A little traveling music please
Two and three days after
I’m aware how much I miss her there
This time I’ll stay home forever
Hold her close and turn the world away
Even if it’s not forever
She’s going to keep me from unraveling
A little traveling music please
A little traveling music please
BLACK AND BLUE
***************
There are no stars tonight,
There are no words to say
I feel my soul losing you
Where did the good times go,
Baby what can we do
Color our love
Black and blue, Black and blue
When our hearts were young,
Clinging to each other
Moonlight used to glow
When our hearts were young,
Then there was no other
Why’d we let it go
Down on the avenue,
You can forget your name
Paint pretty pictures,
False and true
Picture what we’ve become
Running is all we do
Color our love
Black and blue, Black and blue
Looks like a storm tonight
Look like a storm tonight
A storm is overdue
A storm is overdue
Color our love
Color our love
Black and blue, Black and blue, Oh
WHAT A DIFF’ERENCE A DAY MAKES
***************
What a diff’rence a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I’m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
(Since you said you were mine)
What a diff’rence a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
(It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu)
What a diff’rence a day made
And the difference is you
(What a diff’rence a day makes)
(There’s a rainbow before me)
(Skies above can’t be stormy)
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
(It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu)
What a diff’rence a day made
And the difference is you
NEW YORK CITY RHYTHM
***************
When my heart is torn apart
By love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city’s lights
And things don’t seem so bad
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I loss my blues when the New York City Rhythm fills my soul
It’s the New York City Rhythm runnin’ thru my life
The poundin’ beat of the city’s streets
That keep my dreams alive
I’m lost, I’m found
I’m up, I’m down
But somehow I survive
It’s got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life
It’s got to be the New York City Rhtym in my life
In my life
When I’m out for love or sin
Oh it’s good to be in town
In the funky dives, on the old West Side
There’s always something goin’ down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger’s always there
But when I hit Broadway and it’s time to play
And you know that I don’t care
Cause it’s the New York City rhythm runnin thru my life
The poundin’ beat of the city’s streets
That keeps my dreams alive
I’m lost, I’m found
I’m up ,I’m down
But some how I survive
It’s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh It’s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to,got to,got to be
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo makes me high
Its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to, got to, got to be
The city in my life
NO LOVE FOR JENNY
***************
Not even anbition
Led her right in to the palm of his hand
Not that she didn’t know better
But she never been out on the streets before
Lost in her anbition
She just had to know the good and the bad
So she took a apartment
And spend all the money she didn’t have
No love for Jenny
She’s wasting her smile
Takeing a chance that it’s all worth her wile
Dancin for strangers
Thinking she’s grown up
Loving so many
But no love for Jenny
Fakeing dependents
Kept her right on top of his list
Makeing some really good money
But knowing it won’t last very long
A happy birthday
What away to spend your sweet 16
Saying she’s 20 but looking like 30
Hey what went wrong
No love for Jenny
She’s wasting her smile
Takeing a chance that it’s all worth her wile
Dancin for strangers
Looking so grown up
Loving so many
But no love for Jenny
KEEP EACH OTHER WARM
***************
If you’re looking for the dream you dreamed of
Open your eyes
If you’re looking for the one and only
In your life, oh darling
If you’re looking for a friend to turn to
Someone to care
When all the world is out to hurt you
I’ll be there, oh darling
Reach out your hand, reach out for me
I’ll be walking beside you through it all
And we’ll stand tall
When we’re blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
When you talk about toleration
Well I know the score
And if you ever want liberation
There’s the door, oh darling
Living in love is bitter sweet
You’ve got to have faith on a lonely street
But I’ll be walking beside you through it all
And we’ll stand tall
When we’re blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other warm
Come sail into my arms
The harbor of my heart
And trust that love is all we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
Blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other warm
Come saild into my arms
The harbor of my heart
And trust that love is all we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
Were going to keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
