BLUE VELVET
By
Barry Manilow
***************
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there’ll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears
I’LL BE WITH YOU - IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME
***************
I’ll be with you in apple blossom time
I’ll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May I’ll come and say
Happy the bride the sunshine’s on today
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
One day in May
What a very very wonderful day
For you and me dear
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple, in apple blossom time
SUNRISE
***************
And so it began
As I sat by my window
All by myself in the dawn
No body else
No polite conversation
Just waiting for life to come on
And I see the sunrise over the ocean
Sunrise on the sea
I’m watching the sunrise
I’m glad to be living
Sunrise , shine over me
I think of my life as I look out my window
People I love , places I’ve been
Sometimes I feel I could go on forever
With nothing to lose and nothing to win
When I see the sunrise over the ocean
Sunrise on the sea
I’m watching the sunrise
I’m glad to be living
Sunrise , shine over me
MY BABY LOVES ME
***************
My baby loves me, oh yeah
And my baby needs me, oh yeah
No other girl can whisper sweet things in my ear
My sweetie pie has the only sweet voice I hear so clear
Sayin’ that she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, (Oh yeah)
My baby loves me
(You know she really, really loves me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
I can’t seem to see no other beautiful face, oh no
There’s just no cute substitute can take my baby’s place
‘Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Woh, woh, yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Now I will never, ever give my baby no trouble
Whenever she calls me I come runnin’ on the double
‘Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
My baby needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now nobody can’t tell me the place that I’m going wrong, oh no
Nobody could ever embrace the love so strong, so strong
‘Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
She told me that she needs me (oh yeah)
My baby loves me
(You know she really, really loves me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
My baby loves me
WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
***************
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I’ll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I’ll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
When I fall in love with you.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
***************
I’m dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And chrilden listen
To hear sleybells in the snow
I’m dreaming of a white cristmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be marry and bright
And may all your christmas’s be white
