CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OF YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.
You’d be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I’m alive.
You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There’s nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
Please let me know that it’s real.
You’re just too good to be true.
Can’t take my eyes off you.
I love you baby, and if it’s quite all right,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
I love you baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.
And let me love you, baby. Let me love you …
I love you baby, and if it’s quite allright,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
I love you baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.
Oh pretty baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty baby …
OH MY LADY
***************
First they told me
That they loved me
Dressed me up in the light of gold
All they wanted was to know me
Gotta get me on before I get too old
Then they told me I was big time
Lots of favors of limosine
This might be what they told me it would be
But I’m not sure it’s what I need
Not what I need
Now, won’t you tell me
Oh, my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady
To share it with me
Oh, to share it with me
First they told me
I could love you
And then they told me never mind
Never mind
Gotta keep those cards and letters flowing in my friend
Gotta try and have a real good
Real good time
Now wouldn’t you tell me
Oh my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
Oh to share it with me
Now woun’t you tell me
Oh where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
To share, to share it with me
Oh my lady
BORDER TRAIN
***************
Got nobody left to listen to
Got no promises to keep
Something’s gotta be out there
Fine a world for me out there
No more livin’ half asleep
There’s an island in the misty night
Little platform by the track
I dreamed I saw a light for me
A face, a place so right for me
That I’d never think of lookin’ back
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
City jumps up like a circus
Neon flutters out of sight
The town itself is traveling
America unraveling
And swallowed in the hungry night
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
There’ll come a time
With no goodbyes
When I’ll simply grab
That border train
And at journey’s end
They will all be real
My lovers and friends
And I swear to God
There’s time for me
And I’ll live the life I waited for!
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Please light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
ONE OF THESE DAYS
***************
One of these days
One of these very ordinary days
Your going to call my name
And I won’t be there
After the days
After these very,very many days
Your going to see the light
And I won’t be there
And on that day
Some how I’ll find the strength to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
One of these days
Out of the blue you’ll start remembering
And I won’t care
Cause I won’t be there
Oh and on that day
I swear I’ll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
Thats what I say
Thats what I tell myself I won’t give in
So try it someday and you’ll see that I won’t be there
No you know,you know I won’t be there
One of these,one of these,one of these days
I won’t be there

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
***************
When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
