HOME AGAIN
By
Barry Manilow
***************
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
HALFWAY OVER THE HILL
***************
I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky
but don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on
I’ve been running all my life
lord , I’ve run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people grieveing
seeing towns I don’t remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky
don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING
***************
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You’d be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That’s the time you miss her most of all
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn
As the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You’d be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That’s the time you miss her most of all
LAY ME DOWN
***************
Got dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold
I haven’t slept a wink
So I read your goodbye letter
To the face inside my drink
Lay me down and roll me out to sea
Got your picture in my wallet
And some pictures in my mind
A pocketfull of memories
I never thought I’d find
And it’s rainin’ like a Monday
And the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea
Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you’re ready shine your light on me
Now listen to my story
Cause I haven’t told it all
I saw her with her new love
She turned to me and called
When they asked, “How ya’ doing?”
I could crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea
Lay me down roll me out to sea
Callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you’re ready, shine your light on me
BLUER THAN BLUE
***************
After you go
I can catch upon my reading
After you go
I’ll have a lot mroe time for sleeping
And when you’re gone
It looks like things are going to be a lot easier
Life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad
But I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without is going to be
Bluer than blue
After you go
I’ll have a lot more room in my closet
After you go
I’ll stay out all night if I feel like it
And when you’re gone
I could run through the house screaming
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad
But I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without is going to be
Bluer than blue
I don’t have to miss no t.v. shows
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone
But the nights will sure be colder
And I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without you is going to be
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY
***************
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna to set my heart at ease
Gonna take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag
I got my reservation
Spend each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that all aboard
Seven, that’s the time we leave at seven
I’ll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
Sentimental journey
