I’M COMIN’ BACK
By
Barry Manilow

***************

Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you madly
Can you forget all the pain
Let’s try it again

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

Seems like yesterday
It was you and me
How did it slip away?
You are a part of me
You live in the heart of me
I never stopped loving you
And so

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

If the answer’s “no”
I will understand
But it won’t change my mind
You are the only one
And I am the lonely one
I’ll never get over you
And so

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you so madly

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

I’m comin’ back

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!

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

A NICE BOY LIKE ME

***************

Walkin’ around
Uptight
And lookin’ for noise
Frantic on a Friday night
Just one of the boys
Phony defenses, they fall in my way
A case of hot fire turnin’ to stone
Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
Meetin’ Saturday mornin’ alone

Won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Just tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours?
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me

Lost in the crowd
Alone
And drinkin’ my third
I’m hungry for company, but I can’t think of the words
Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplaced, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight!

Wontcha’ tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’ Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me

Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplased, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight

And tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice kid like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours
Dozin’ over roll of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me

DANCING IN THE DARK

***************

Dancind in the dark
Till the tune ends where dancing in the dark
And it soon ends we’re waltzing in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by were here and gone
Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together

Dancing in the dark
What though love is old
What though song is old
Though them we can be young
Hear this heart of mind
Make your’s part of mind
Dear one tell me that we’re one
We’re waltzing in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by we’re here and gone
We’re looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together

Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

THE AIR THAT I BREATHE

***************

If I could make a wish
I think I pass
Can’t think of any thing I need
No cigarettes,no sleep
No light,no sound
Nothing to real
Making love with you
Has made me peaceful
Warm,and tired
What more could I ask
Their nothing left to be desire

Sometimes, all I need is the
Air that I breath
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came apond me
And it leaves me weak
Sleep silent angel
Go to sleep

Sometimes, all I need is this
Air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
