IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
If we only have love
Then tomorrow we’ll dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn’
If we only have love
To embrase without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears
If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side
If we only have love
Love that’s falling like rain
Then the parch desert Earth
Will grow green again
If we only have love
For the hym that we shout
For the song that we sing
Then we’ll have a way out
If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons
If we only have love
Then Jersusalem’s stands
And then death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We’ll be tall as the pines
Neither here or nor clowns
If we only have love
Then we’ll only be men
And we’ll drink from the grail
To be born once again
Then with nothing at all
But the middle we are
We’ll have conquered all time
All space the sun and the stars
I GO CRAZY
***************
Hello girl it’s been a while
Guess you’ll be glad to know
That I’ve learn how to laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I really see you
I really see you again
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can’t high
That old feeling in side
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
You say he satasified your mind
Tells you all of his dreams
I know how much that means to you
I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain’t true
You know it just ain’t true
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
That old flame comes alive
It starts burning inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
Oh it just ain’t true
No it’s just ain’t true
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
That old flame comes alive
It starts burning inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
OH MY LADY
***************
First they told me
That they loved me
Dressed me up in the light of gold
All they wanted was to know me
Gotta get me on before I get too old
Then they told me I was big time
Lots of favors of limosine
This might be what they told me it would be
But I’m not sure it’s what I need
Not what I need
Now, won’t you tell me
Oh, my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady
To share it with me
Oh, to share it with me
First they told me
I could love you
And then they told me never mind
Never mind
Gotta keep those cards and letters flowing in my friend
Gotta try and have a real good
Real good time
Now wouldn’t you tell me
Oh my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
Oh to share it with me
Now woun’t you tell me
Oh where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
To share, to share it with me
Oh my lady
WHERE DO I BEGIN? (THEME FROM LOVE STORY)
***************
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They’ll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I’m never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She’s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
THIS IS OUR TIME!
***************
I know, Bobby, I see
The times are awful, true
But they’re times that we inherit
What else can we do?
The choices pal, are few
Roll over, die, or rise above it all
Show ’em why and how to shove it all!
I know, bobby
I see
This is our time, bobby, this is our time
Bad times, so then what’s to lose?
A lousy year of lousy news
And stuffin’ cardboard in our shoes
When here’s a chance to know what bliss is
It’s our dance, hey fellas
This is our time!
Sad as hell
But our time
Our world
If the world survives
Then we’ve got time and bobby
Just maybe it could be
The time of all times of our lives!
Help it happen
Draw the plan
You can’t do it
Nor can I
But Bobby
We can!
This is our time
Maybe it’s the last time
Who knows, but at least it’s ours
And it won’t be the first time
That men picked the worst time
To lift up their eyes to the stars!
‘Cause it’s our time!
Here’s to our time!
This is our time!
And it won’t be the first time
That men picked the worst time
To lift up their eyes to the stars!
‘Cause it’s our time!
Here’s to our time!
This is out time, fellas!
This is our time!
This is our time!
Our time!
CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE
***************
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…
