BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Well honeybunch
It’s been fun
But gotta run
Oh sweetlips
Stay a little while longer won’t you
No it’s very late baby
I really got to go
But look at the weather
You’ll catch cold out there
And I would never forgive myself
Oh you
Come on just one more night cap
No I shouldn’t
Come on
No well
I really can’t stay
But baby it’s cold outside
I got to go away
But baby it’s cold outside
This evening has been
And hoping that you drop in
So very nice
I’ll hold your hands
There just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what’s your hurry
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I better scurry
Beautiful please don’t go
Well maybe just a half drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
But baby it’s bad out there
Say, what’s in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like stars tonight
To break this spell
I’ll take your hat
Your hair looks swell
I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move in closer
At least I’m gonna say that I tried
What’s the sense of hurting my pride
I really can’t stay
Baby don’t hold on
Ah but it’s cold outside
Well I must say
This couch is very comfortable
It’s not a couch puddin’ pop
It’s a love seat
Oh how you talk
Oh Barry
I simply must go
But baby it’s cold outside
The answer is no
But baby it’s cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window
At that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh your lips look good
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarrette more
Never said your blues will be for
I’ve got to get home
But baby you’ll freeze out there
Say darling can you lend me your comb
It’s up to your knees out there
You really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don’t you see
How can you do this thing to me
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty in life
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can’t stay
Get over that hold out
Ah but it’s cold outside
Well I don’t know
I don’t got to go home
Hey look it’s starting to snow
Oh you arranged that didn’t you?
See now you gotta stay
Well, I guess I won’t be able to find a cab
No cabs
And the buses they never run
They’ll never run in snow like this
Let me take your coat
Well tomorrow is Sunday isn’t it?
And I don’t have to go to work
See isn’t that better
And who knows how long it will keep snowing
It can snow for a long time, Kate
What are you doing?
Well now yeah
THIS IS OUR TIME!
***************
I know, Bobby, I see
The times are awful, true
But they’re times that we inherit
What else can we do?
The choices pal, are few
Roll over, die, or rise above it all
Show ’em why and how to shove it all!
I know, bobby
I see
This is our time, bobby, this is our time
Bad times, so then what’s to lose?
A lousy year of lousy news
And stuffin’ cardboard in our shoes
When here’s a chance to know what bliss is
It’s our dance, hey fellas
This is our time!
Sad as hell
But our time
Our world
If the world survives
Then we’ve got time and bobby
Just maybe it could be
The time of all times of our lives!
Help it happen
Draw the plan
You can’t do it
Nor can I
But Bobby
We can!
This is our time
Maybe it’s the last time
Who knows, but at least it’s ours
And it won’t be the first time
That men picked the worst time
To lift up their eyes to the stars!
‘Cause it’s our time!
Here’s to our time!
This is our time!
And it won’t be the first time
That men picked the worst time
To lift up their eyes to the stars!
‘Cause it’s our time!
Here’s to our time!
This is out time, fellas!
This is our time!
This is our time!
Our time!
I HAVEN’T CHANGED THE ROOM
***************
Here is the room that we shared
The room that you cared for
So I haven’t changed the room
How did the years slip away
I could swear you’re still there
For I haven’t changed the room
Now that you’re gone
What am I to do
So many fantasies
Plans that we made
That will never come true
And I haven’t changed all that much
And I’m sure you’d be proud of
The way that I came through
So if you happen to be passin’ by
To make sure that you recognize it
I haven’t changed the room
WHY DON’T WE LIVE TOGETHER
***************
Why don’t we live together
Only the two of us, we’ll learn to trust
Don’t have to say forever
’cause we know the rain could start and break our hearts
But we’ll never find the future if we hesitate
We’ll spend our lives waiting
Why don’t we live together, taking it day by day we’ll find a way
To build us a dream that’s better
And still have our wings to fly if love should die
We can’t spend our lives rehearsing all these lines of love
It’s time to raise the curtain
Why don’t we live together whether love lives or dies
At least we’ll know we tried
We’ve both been burned before
But now we know this love is sure
And there’ll be no more sorrow
This love is burnin’ bright it lights up tomorrow
Why don’t we live together takin’ lifes rocky ride
Side by side
Sailin’ thru stormy weather
Searchin’ for sunny skies with open eyes
Sharin’ the tears and the laughter is the only way
We’ll find the love we’re after
Oh why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies at least we’ll know we tried
Why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies at least we’ll know we tried
Why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies lets take a chance let’s try
WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
***************
Oh what a time
What a warm an wonderous time
So sweet a shinning moment in the sun
Oh what a time
Was there ever such a time
Then suddenly it’s done
The moment passes
Where, where does the time go
Must we let it end
Where, where does the time go
Gone to soon my friend
And where, where go the echo’s
Of our laughte ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
Must we let it end
And where, where go the echo’s
Of our laugther ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
I will see you there
ALL THE TIME
***************
All the time I thought
There’s only me
Crazy in a way
That no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
If someone would have said you’re not alone
All the time I thought
That I was wrong
Wanting to be me,but needing to belong
If I had just beleaved in all I had
If someone would have said you’re not so bad
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
All the time I thought
There’s only me
Crazy in way that no one else could be
I can’t believe that you where somewhere too
Thinking all the time there’s only you
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
