CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me
And you see I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you’re glad
I feel sad when you’re sad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
I CAN’T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE

WE STILL HAVE TIME
***************
Before the laughter ended
You were a part of me
Why did I ever let the distance grow
When there is still so much of you
I need to know
But we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
I don’t have all the answers
I don’t know where we’d start
I don’t know how
We’d try to find a way
I only know
That now I need to hear you say
That we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
We all have time
Yes, we still have time
To have it all
SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT
***************
Time, you found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I’ll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
You’ll sleep when the mornin’ comes
And I’ll lie and watch you sleepin’
And you’ll smile when you dream about the night
Like it’s a secret you’ve been keepin’
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night!!
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
SHADOW MAN
***************
No one knows you but they all love you
Just don’t let them get too much of you
Careful man
Don’t forget you’re the shadow man
Look how many beleave they need you
Look how many tried to read you
No one can
You get off on it shadow man
And so you smile your smile
And fool those fools you care about
You’ve got it all
You’ve got the whole thing figured out
Well haven’t you?
Just confuse’em with smoke and static
Make’em think that you enigmatic
That’s the plan
You’re the best at it shadow man
And when anyone penetrated
The illusion that you created
Off you ran
You’re too fast for them
Shadow man
No emotional complication
That would ruin your reputation
Every fan
Needs a fantasy shadow man
If they could see behind the smile
And find the fear and doubt
They’d turn away
They’d have the whole think figured out
Well wouldn’t they?
No one knows you but they all love you
Just don’t let them get too much of you
Careful man
Don’t you forget you’re the shadow man
Every day now I see you clearer
You’re the mystery in the mirror
Man to man
Tell me what’s the plan?
Tell me how long can you be
A shadow man
CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
***************
Christmas is just around the corner
Christmas – you feel it in the air
Better write all your letters to Santa
There’s shopping and wrapping to do
I bet you’ll never believe it
When you see what I got you
You’re gonna love it
Christmas is just around the corner
Candles are glowing everywhere
Can’t wait until that night reindeer appear
Christmas – and it’s just about here
Christmas is just around the corner
Christmas – you feel it in the air
All the trees are surrounded with presents
The stockings are filling up too
I’ll bet you’ll never believe it
When you see what I got you
What did you get me?
Christmas is just around the corner
Sleigh bells are ringing in the sled
Too bad December comes just once a year
Christmas – time to trim the tree
Christmas – can it really be
Christmas – yes it’s finally here
We’ve been waiting all year
And it’s finally here
Yes it’s finally here
It’s finally here
Christmas
