DAYBREAK
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Singing to the world
Its time we let the spirt come in
Let it come on in
I’m singing to the world
Everybody’s caught in the spin
Look at where we’ve been
We’ve been running around
Year after year
Blinded it with pride
Blinded it with fear
But its daybreak
If you wanna’ to beleave
It can be daybreak
Ain’t no time to grieve
Say its daybreak
If you ‘ll only beleave
And let it shine,shine,shine all around the world
Singing to the world
What’s the point of puttin’ it down
There’s so much love to share
I’m singing to the world
Don’t you see it all comes around
The feeling’s every where
Where we’ve been closing our eyes
Day after day
Cover in clouds losin’ our way
Hey but its daybreak
If you wanna’ to beleave
It can be daybreak
Ain’t know time to grieve
And its daybreak
And if you only beleave
And then let it shine,shine,shine all around the world
And its daybreak
If you wanna’ to believe
It can be daybreak
Ain’t no time to grieve
And its daybreak
And if you only believe
Then let it shine,shine,shine all around the world
Come on and let it
Shine,shine,shine all around the world
Hey and its daybreak
Can you feel it
And its daybreak
Can’t you sing it
That its daybreak
Sunshine
WRITTEN IN STONE
***************
I had a great time
And I wished you were there
New friends, good wine
I sure had my share
But I wouldn’t be here now
If I didn’t care
Didn’t I say we were written in stone
So how come you’re sittin’ alone?
And hey, did I shine
Did they open that door
That’s yours, that’s mine
It’s what we’re looking for
So I shoulda called baby
Trust me some more
Didn’t I say we were written in stone
So how come you hang back alone?
And the rain comes down
And the sea turns grey
And the waves beat hard
The stone wears away
Til there’s only sand
On a cold new day
Where once we were written in stone
Where once we were written in stone
Right now is my chance
I’m boiling inside
I’m needed, I’m known
And you wanna hide
It’s your party too, babe
C’mon for the ride
Didn’t I say we were written in stone
So how come I’m here all alone?
And the rain comes down
And the sea turns grey
And the waves beat hard
The stone wears away
Til there’s only sand
On a cold new day
Where once we were written in stone
Where once we were written in stone
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
***************
You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.”
NIGHT SONG
***************
Listen
The city is singin’ its night song
A city of shadows and fading starlight
Mixed with bar light
Listen
The empty streets echo the right song
A melody I used to think was only for the
Lonely
Night song
I hear you
Now as the night disappears
But this time
Your blues
Is music to my ears
The rumble of the train
The rustle of the wind
The rhythm of the footsteps
The blarin’ of a horn
The murmur of a voice
The echo of a siren
Night song!
You used to find me cryin’ in my beer
Now you remind me tomorrow she’ll be here
She’ll be here!
Oh, night song
You sing of a train from New Orleans
And deep in the music I hear her hummin’
Now she’s coming home!
The city is singin’ its night song
Listen
THIS GUY’S IN LOVE WITH YOU
***************
You see this guy, this guy’s in love with you
Yes I’m in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell it know each other very well
How can I show you I’m glad I got to know you ’cause
I’ve heard some talk they say you think I’m fine
This guy’s in love and what I’d do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’ don’t let my heart keep breaking ’cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you’re in love and you’ll be my guy, if not I’ll just die
Tell me now is it so don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’ don’t let my heart keep breaking ’cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you’re in love and you’ll be my girl, if not I’ll just die
I WRITE THE SONGS (ACOUSTIC)
***************
I’ve been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music
And I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
My home lies deep within you
And I’ve got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I’m young again, even tho’ I’m very old
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock ‘n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that’s a real find place to start
It’s from me, it’s for you
It’s from you, it’s for me
It’s a worldwide symphony
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I am music and I write the songs
