I’LL BE SEEING YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mind embrases
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children’s carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
And I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
Oh but
I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you
TURN THE RADIO UP
***************
C’mon everybody open
Up your windows
Turn on the music
Turn on the music
When I feel that this old world
Is just to hard to bear
People comin’ at me left and right
Day and night
Here’s the thing I do
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Turn reality down
There’s too much talk about blues
To much of the time
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Turn the ngative down
Turn the radio up
Everything will be find
Worryin’ don’t do no good
So throw your cares away
Come on people life’s too
Short to stay
Hey hey
Everybody now
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Play it all over town
There’s to much talk about blues
Turn the bulletins down
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Don’t ‘cha be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Don’t give in
No matter what they say
Out with the negative
You find the positive way
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Up with harmony
Pandemonium down
There’s to much talk about blues
All over this town
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Don’t you be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
MY EYES ADORED YOU
***************
My eyes adored ya
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored ya
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn’t see how I adored ya
So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your books from school
Playin’ “make-believe you’re married to me”
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walkin’ home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways
Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce ’bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind
(My eyes adored ya)
All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
(Like a million miles away from me
You couldn’t see how I adored ya)
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
I know I won’t ever forget ya, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored ya)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored ya)
(Like a million miles away from me
You couldn’t see how I adored ya)
So close, so close and yet so far
LOVE ME TENDER
***************
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
And we’ll never part.
Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
(When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).
SOME SWEET DAY
***************
All my life
I’ve been living in my fantasy
Songs of love
To help me through the night
All my life
I keep wondering where you’ll be
When, when will I finally see the light
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Where are you
Darling, how I need you now
Need your voice
I need to know your name
Where are you
Please try to get through somehow
I don’t want to be alone again
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
I’ve been shouting to the sky
And I keep on asking why
If I have to hold out much longer
I will surely die
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
DANCIN’ FOOL
***************
When I hear a band blowin’ basie
I can count on losing my cool
Take me where the rhythm is racy
Let me be a dancin’ fool
Some prefer the cafe europa
Sipping dubonnet on a stool
Me, I get my kicks at the copa
That’s where i’m a dancin’ fool
I’ll show you some moves
Smooth as satin
And others they don’t teach in school
When that crooner starts in to scattin’
Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’
Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool
When those trumpets blare, man
I ain’t got a care man
I’m like fred astaire, man
Cool!
Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’
Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool!
