BEYOND THE SEA
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing
It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet (I know we’ll meet) beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing…
HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART
***************
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
I’M COMIN’ BACK
***************
Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you madly
Can you forget all the pain
Let’s try it again
I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Seems like yesterday
It was you and me
How did it slip away?
You are a part of me
You live in the heart of me
I never stopped loving you
And so
I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go
If the answer’s “no”
I will understand
But it won’t change my mind
You are the only one
And I am the lonely one
I’ll never get over you
And so
I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you so madly
I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I’m comin’ back
HERE COMES THE NIGHT
***************
The day is ending
And the same old pain begins
Each deeper shade of blue
Brings back more of you to miss
I fight the tears again
But I just can’t win and…
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
I still remember
You lyin’ next to me
The love would go so deep
We wouldn’t get to sleep at all
These nights I’m losing sleep
To a lonely memory
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
Will it never end
Why can’t I get forever
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
GOODBYE MY LOVE
***************
You look away from me again
There’s really nothing to explain
Feel it in your kiss
I guess this is good-bye my love
The way I feel don’t have a name
The days and nights so filled with pain
Thought that I would stay
But I gotta say good-bye my love
You used to laugh and say
If you play, play for gold
I didn’t know that I would lose my heart
And soul
I didn’t know
I won’t regret the time we had
I’ll think of you and I’ll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love
I won’t regret the time we had
I’ll think of you and I’ll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love
Good-bye my love
Good-bye my love
SHE’S A STAR
***************
It really doesn’t matter if she suffered all she claims
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs
A goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs
She’s a star
No one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she’d do it
She’s a star
They’re hangin’ on the music as it fills the concert hall
And she’s teasin’ them with moments, when you think she’ll give it all
But she’s holdin’ back the total, cause that’s how she works her spell
Yeah, she likes to leave ’em hungry, yeah she loves to hear ’em yell
She’s a star
No one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she’d do it
She’s a star
Baby you’re a star
And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
She’s left with no companions, only enemies and slaves
She’s scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow night’s already raising riot in her mind
But she’s a star no one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she do it
She’s a star
She’s a star
She’s a star
She’s a star
