BRING HIM HOME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
God on high
Here my pray
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He’s afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He’s like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summer’s die one by one
How soon they fly on and on
Before I’m old before I’m gone
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take you can give
Let him be let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
BEYOND THE SEA
***************
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…
YOU COULD SHOW ME
***************
I don’t know how to begin
To let myself let you in
But you
Maybe you could show me
There’s so much more I would say
If someone showed me the way
Like you
Maybe you could show me
I’ve been so used to getting what I want
Doing what I want to do
I’ve always been the one who took the lead
Now I find I need
I need to follow you
So won’t you help me come through
My future’s long overdue
It’s time
I think I’m ready now
And you could show me how
THE LOOK OF LOVE
***************
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so
WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
***************
We’ve only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way.
And yes, We’ve just begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We’ve just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow,
And yes, We’ve just begun.
I SHOULD CARE
***************
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough I sleep well
‘cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can love you to sleep
But I should care
I shouldn’t let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn’t get me
Maybe I won’t find someone
As lovely as you
But I should care
And I do
But I should care
And I do
