DANCING IN THE DARK
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Dancind in the dark
Till the tune ends where dancing in the dark
And it soon ends we’re waltzing in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by were here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What though love is old
What though song is old
Though them we can be young
Hear this heart of mind
Make your’s part of mind
Dear one tell me that we’re one
We’re waltzing in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by we’re here and gone
We’re looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
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
SUMMERTIME
***************
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby don’t you cry
One of these mornin’s you’re gonna rise up singin’
Then you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take to the sky
But ’til that mornin’ there’s anothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin’ by
Oh, Summertime
And the livin’ is easy
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
Fish are jumpin
And the cotton is high
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby don’t you cry
Cry, cry
ONLY IN CHICAGO
***************
I went back
Yes, I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
I went back
Yes, I went back to see just
How we could feel so good
In Chicago
We seemed to have it all
It was real
It was love
I went back
And I sat by the lake
And looked at the stars
And oh I swear
I remember how much we laughed
And I loved you so
In Chicago
I know we had it all
It was real
It was love
Only in Chicago
Love is in the air
In Chicago
Our Chicago
There’s a magic there
In Chicago
Our Chicago
Baby, you and I
We tried to take it with us
But you can’t go back
’cause I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
Now I see
That it wasn’t just you
It wasn’t just me
It was Chicago
But I’m still in love with you
Only you
Only you
But only in Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Only in Chicago
Love is in the air
In Chicago
There’s a magic there
In Chicago
Our Chicago
Baby, you and I
We tried to take it with us
But you can’t go back
’cause I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
Now I see
That it wasn’t just you
It wasn’t just me
It was Chicago
But I’m still in love with you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
But only in Chicago,Chicago
Only in Chicago,Chicago
Only in Chicago,Chicago
OLD FRIENDS
***************
Hey old friend
Are you ok old friend
What’ll you say old friend
Are we or are we unique
Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I we get continued next week
Most friends fade
Or they don’t make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure they’ll do
But us old friends
What’s to discuss old friend
Here’s to us
Who’s like us
Damn few
WE’VE GOT TONIGHT
***************
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one’ll care
Look at the stars
So far away
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
Deep in my soul
I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes
Fading away
I’ve long for love
Like everyone else does
But I may stop searching
After today
So there it is, girl
I’ve said it all now
And here we are
What do you say
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let’s make it last
Let’s find away
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
