BRING ON TOMORROW
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Sleep baby, sleep
lose yesterday’s blues
when you’re ready for morning
have I got news..
our ship’s in the harbor…
the street’s turning gold
whatever you’re dreaming, it’s no longer on hold..
Dream baby, dream
while you were asleep
I had mountains to climb and a promise to keep
now home is the hunter and holding the prize
I’m waiting tell you when you open your eyes
Bring on tomorrow for me and for you
we hung on through dark hours..dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun
we’ll live it together cause you are the one.
Smile baby, smile
through canyon’s of night
but you’ll really be smiling by morning’s light
they told us we’re crazy
they promised I’d lose
forgive and forget them…
they’re yesterday’s news..
Bring on tomorrow for me and for you
we hung on through dark hours…dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun
we’ll live it together cause you’re the one..
Without you it’s nothing..
why else would I climb?
Together forever, hearts beating in time..
Oh…bring on tomorrow for me and for you…
we hung on through dark hours, dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun..
we’ll live it together cause you are the one
WHERE YOU GO
***************
Where you go
I will go
Where you walk
I’m beside you
My love, where you are is where I want to be
Where you go
We will go
Maybe scared
But together
With you, I’m prepared the rest is destiny
When it starts
Take my hand
And whether it’s through hell or to the promised land
God knows where
I’ll be there
Where you go
No matter where we go
Take my hand
And whether it’s through hell or to the promised land
Where you go
I will go
Where you lie
So will I
And I’ll stay
I will stay
‘Till the day
That we die
‘Till the day we die
HALFWAY OVER THE HILL
***************
I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky
but don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on
I’ve been running all my life
lord , I’ve run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people grieveing
seeing towns I don’t remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky
don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
MANDY
***************
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
A face through a window cryin’ in the night,
The night goes into
Morning just another day;
Happy people pass my way.
Looking in their eyes,
I see a memory I never realized how happy you made me.
Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
I’m standing on the edge of time;
I’ve walked away when love was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
The tears are in my mind and nothin’ in rhyming.
Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
Yesterday’s a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today Oh, Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
SINGIN’ WITH THE BIG BANDS
***************
If I wrote history
And could pocket a moment for me
It would be
Singin’ with the big bands
I would turn back the clock
For the time we’ll be in for a shock
Hearin me singin’ with the big bands
If I had me a genie inside Aladdin’s lamp
I’d tell him do your thing
And like that I would be
At the Paramount in ’43
And I sing
Ringin’ in the good times
Swingin’ with the big boys
Singin’ with the big bands
Singin’ with the big bands
If I had me a genie inside Aladdin’s lamp
I’d tell him Mr. Genie go on and do your thing
And like that I would be
At the Paramount in ’43
And I sing
Ringin’ in the good times
Singin’ with the big boys
Wingin’ it in swing time
Bringing back the big nose
I’m jumpin with the Duke
Stoppin with the King
Cooler than the Kid
Swinging everything
I’m singin’ with the big bands
