I’LL BE WITH YOU - IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
I’ll be with you in apple blossom time
I’ll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May I’ll come and say
Happy the bride the sunshine’s on today
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
One day in May
What a very very wonderful day
For you and me dear
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple, in apple blossom time
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
***************
Grab your coat
Don’t forget your hat
We’ll leave your worries
Leave them on the doorstep
My sweet
Just direct your feet
To the sun, sunny side of the street
Hop bop a doddle zag
Pitter pat
You know that happy tune
Is my step
Life’s all weak
If you dig that beat
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Used to walk in the shade
With my blues on parade
What a drag old man
Getting stuck in the shade
Get hit, don’t be afraid
Move it on over
Feel yourself in the clover
I MISS YOU
***************
When I wake up everyday
I miss you
And it never goes away
I miss you
People smile and while
I take and even laugh
I’m not even half the man they knew
Without you
When I’m in our bed each night
And I turn out the light
Oh how I miss you
Little things reminding me about you
Who will I annoy again, if not you?
In my silent room sometimes
I’ll close my eyes
And I whisper sweet good-byes
You’ll never hear
Esther dear…..
Fifty years, Ester and Joe
Tell me how could this be so?
Oh how I miss you
Was I there
When you needed me to be there?
Could you see
There wasn’t one day
When you weren’t my best girl?
Though we both drove each other crazy
I love all the love you gave me
And you where all that mattered
In my world
Everyday I love you more
And miss you
And I wish you knew
That through the darkest night
You are still the light
That helps me find my way
And I pray
One day we will meet again
And all this emptiness will end
And I will kiss you
’till that day
Though we’re apart
I’ll hold you close
Here in my heart
But God
I miss you
LET’S HANG ON
***************
There ain’t no good in our goodbyein’
True love takes a lot of tryin’
Ohh, I’m cryin’
Let’s hang on
To what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl
We got a lot
Got a lotta love between us
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
To what we got
You say you’re gonna go and call it quits
Gonna check it all and break
Our love to bits
Break it up
(I wish you’d never said it)
Break it up
(Oh, no we’ll both regret it)
That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain’t a fortune baby but you know it stands
For the love
(a love to tie and bind ya)
Such a love
(we both can’t leave behind us)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Think it over and stay
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do
I’d pay any price to get in good with you
Patch it up
(give me a second turnin’)
Patch it up
(don’t cool off while I’m burning)
You’ve got me cryin’ dyin’ at your door
Don’t shut me out
Ooh let me in once more
Open up
(your arms I need to hold you)
Open up
(your heart, oh girl I love you)
Baby
(don’t you know)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Think it over and stay
WHEN I NEED YOU
***************
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I’m with you
And all that I so want to give you
It’s only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space
In between us
A telephone can’t take the place of your smile
But you know I won’t be traveling forever
It’s cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I’m with you
And all that I so want to give you
It’s only a heart beat away
It’s not easy when
The road is your driver
Honey that’s a heavy load that we bare
But you know I won’t be
Traveling a life time
It’s cold out but hold out
And do like I do
Oh I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you’re right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I’m with you
And all that I want to give you
It’s only a heart beat away
STAY
***************
Do you remember how we used to be
Before we lost the dream of you and me
From the very start you took my breath away
So tonight let’s bring back yesterday
Darlin’ stay
Why don’t you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love til the morning light
Baby stay
I can make everything alright Just tell me what to say
‘Cause I really don’t want you to go
You used to laugh and say sweet things to me
You made me happy as a man can be
Hold me in your arms like you did then
Make the memory live all over again
Darlin’ stay
Why don’t you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love til the morning light
Baby stay
I can make everything alright
Just tell me what to say
‘Cause I really don’t want you to go
Darlin’ stay
Why don’t you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love til the morning light
Now stay
I can make everything alright
Just tell me what to say
‘Cause I really don’t want you to go
Darlin’ stay
Why don’t you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love til the morning light
Now stay
I can make everything alright
Just tell me what to say
‘Cause I really don’t want you to go
