EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
That sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There’s no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I’d arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you
If I had it in my power
I’d arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you
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
ANYONE CAN DO THE HEARTBREAK
***************
Take another step
Tell another lie
Hide another tear
In the corner of your eye
I don’t understand
What kind of game is this we’re playing
Dancin’ in the dark
Shadow’s in the night
Slowly going wrong
Trying to make it right
The silence is so loud
I can’t hear the words we’re saying
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Everybody knows the dance
Oh it’s so easy to do
You tear a dream in two
To kill a true romance
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Anyone can make love end
It’s gonna take a little pain
Some fire and some rain
To bring it back again
I know you’re afraid
Baby so am I
You think you’re going to fall
All you want to do is fly
We’re up against the wall
And love is the chance we’re taking
So baby look into my heart
Tell me can’t you see
I belong with you
You belong with me
When I hold you in my arms
We can hear the music playing
And it’s one step forward
And two steps back
Well we keep on moving
But we’re only losing ground
We’ve got to turn this love around
LIFE WILL GO ON
***************
Goodbye
There’s a word I hated
All my life
Unanticipated tears
Can hurt so much
My friend
It’s so sad to see you
At love’s end
I’ve been through the pain myself
It’s really wrong
To play it strong
Go on and cry
’til you run dry
It’s alright
Go on and scream
At broken dreams
It’s alright
Let sorrow have it’s day
And when it’s done
Life will go on
In time
Thoughts of “might have been”
Will leave your mind
And sweet forgetfulness
Will come
Don’t worry now
Just when or how
Go on and cry
’til you run dry
It’s alright
Go on and scream
At broken dreams
It’s alright
Let sorrow have it’s day
To cry out
It’s no crime
In no time
Life will go on
Go on and cry
’til you run dry
It’s alright
Go on and scream
At broken dreams
It’s alright
Let sorrow have it’s day
And when it’s done
Life will go on and on
It’s alright
Yes it’s alright
Let sorrow have it’s day
And when it’s done
Life will go on and on
STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
***************
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night
What were the chances we’d be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night we’ve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night we’ve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
For strangers in the night
For strangers in the night
HOME AGAIN
***************
Always and always now
Where there was just one
There’ll be two
And you won’t be alone again
I’m home again
Over and over now
We’ll make up for nights that we missed
And kiss like we once kissed again
I’m home again
Close your eyes
I’ll close mine
Remember how much we once had
And babe I’m so glad
To be home again
Love you- I love you now,now
There’s no one but you in my life
And I won’t let you go again
See I’m home again
Close your eye’s
I’ll close mine
Remember how much we once had
And babe, I’m so glad
To be home again
Love you- I love you
Oh more then anythink else in my life
And I won’t let you go again
I’m home again
I’m home again
I’m home again
Yes I’m home
