DANCIN’ FOOL
By
Barry Manilow
***************
When I hear a band blowin’ basie
I can count on losing my cool
Take me where the rhythm is racy
Let me be a dancin’ fool
Some prefer the cafe europa
Sipping dubonnet on a stool
Me, I get my kicks at the copa
That’s where i’m a dancin’ fool
I’ll show you some moves
Smooth as satin
And others they don’t teach in school
When that crooner starts in to scattin’
Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’
Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool
When those trumpets blare, man
I ain’t got a care man
I’m like fred astaire, man
Cool!
Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’
Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool!
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.
SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT (ACOUSTIC)
***************
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)
SOME KIND OF FRIEND
***************
I saw you at the Beechwood Cafe
You looked at me and then you looked away
That was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
You said you had places you had to be
Now who is gonna be there for me
That was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Lady that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Baby that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
They say that women like you can’t get enough
Got our Maserati built for two
They say that women like you like to play
With love
Is that true?
When I ran into you the other day
You smiled at me but you had nothing to say
That was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Tell me why’d you do what you did to me
Covered up in your life so I couldn’t see
Now that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Lady that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Baby that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
I never should have let you get to me
Never should have let you bring me down
Didn’t know that I was just some fantasy
That you found.
Some kind
Some kind of friend
Some kind
Some kind
Some kind of friend
Some kind
Some kind
Some kind of friend
Some kind
Some kind
Some kind of friend
Some kind
Lady that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Baby that was some kind
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
Some kind of friend
TURN THE RADIO UP
***************
C’mon everybody open
Up your windows
Turn on the music
Turn on the music
When I feel that this old world
Is just to hard to bear
People comin’ at me left and right
Day and night
Here’s the thing I do
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Turn reality down
There’s too much talk about blues
To much of the time
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Turn the ngative down
Turn the radio up
Everything will be find
Worryin’ don’t do no good
So throw your cares away
Come on people life’s too
Short to stay
Hey hey
Everybody now
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Play it all over town
There’s to much talk about blues
Turn the bulletins down
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Don’t ‘cha be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Don’t give in
No matter what they say
Out with the negative
You find the positive way
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Up with harmony
Pandemonium down
There’s to much talk about blues
All over this town
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Don’t you be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
A GIFT OF LOVE
***************
Here in this sighlent night
Now all the world is right
As if we’sundenley been giving
A gift of love
A gift of love
Warm as the fire glow
Soft as the falling snow
A pre….. micael we live in
This wonder of a gift of love
Night falls
At this coldest time of the year
Love calls
Here where I love you so
Now as our blessings grow
We shear the greatest gift we’ll ever know
A gift of love
A gift of love
