BLUE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
When nights are long, I think of you
Could you be blue, as blue as I am
When lovers passed,do you feel blue
And wish you knew,where we went wrong
I like to call,but I’m afraid to find
That I’m not on your mind,all night long
When sundays come, what gets you through
Are you still glad your free
Or are you blue like me
When nights are long
It seem so long, so very long
I think of you
My heart is aching, and I’m all so blue
Could you be blue
As blue as those eyes of yours
As blue as I am
My sweet,sweet baby
When lovers pass
And now that spring is here
Do you feel blue
What’ll I do with out you
And wish you knew
Where we went wrong
With out you to walk with or jog with
I like to call
I’m starring at the sun
But I’m afraid I’ll find
That I’m not on you mind,all night long
When sundays come,what get me through
Are you still glad your free
Or are you blue like me
Blue like me

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
BUT THE WORLD GOES ‘ROUND
***************
Sometimes you’re happy
And sometimes you’re sad
But the world goes round
And sometimes you lose
Every nickel you had
But the world goes round
Sometimes you’re dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn’t matter at all
Take it from me, there’s still going to be
A summer, a winter, a spring and a fall
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafing sound
Somebody loses, and somebody wins
And one day it’s kicks
And it’s kicks in the shins
But the plant spins
And world goes round and round
Sometimes you’re happy and sometimes your sad
But the world goes round
And sometimes you lose
Every nickel you had
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that shouldn’t altar a thing
Take it from me, there’s till going to be
A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafing sound
Somebody loses, and somebody wins
And one day it’s kicks then it’s kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes round
And round and round and round and round
The world goes round
And round
And round
And round
SUNDAY FATHER
***************
Hand in his hand though the park
All afternoon
A fine day to fly balloons or tell him a story
Hand in his hand to wonder
Till day is done
Sunday father and son
Sundays are there’s to explore
Alone by law
One day to keep the two from turning to strangers
One day to know the answers
Be firm, be fun
Sunday father and son
The father weaves though the weekend streets
Sunday done, monday comin’ on
He leaves the child by a modest home
That they share no more
With the woman who waits indoors
Till she knows he’s gone
Where are the words or the games
A place to go
Someway to let him know you want to be with him
Somehow it’s always ending
Just half begun
Sunday father and son
Sunday father and son
WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN
***************
You were sweet sixteen, you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o’er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye,
And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dreamt of what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o’er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
