IN SEARCH OF LOVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
There is somebody
In this world somebody
She was but on earth for me
Where can her love be?
See, I’m no exception
I need real affection
What’s life worth living for
If no to give it all
So…I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Well, I’m going crazy
Only you can save me
From the tears and loneliness
Girl, I must confess
That day or night time
There is no right time
For a heart to be alone
I just can’t go on
So…I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Don’t make me beg
Don’t make me plead
Just go ahead and give me what I need
Set me free
Answer me
Can’t you hear me calling out to you
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!

GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY
***************
Give my regards to broadway
Remember me to Harold Square
Tell all the gang at 42nd street
That I will soon be there
Whisper of how I’m yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old broadway
And say that I’ll be there airlong
KEEP EACH OTHER WARM
***************
If you’re looking for the dream you dreamed of
Open your eyes
If you’re looking for the one and only
In your life, oh darling
If you’re looking for a friend to turn to
Someone to care
When all the world is out to hurt you
I’ll be there, oh darling
Reach out your hand, reach out for me
I’ll be walking beside you through it all
And we’ll stand tall
When we’re blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
When you talk about toleration
Well I know the score
And if you ever want liberation
There’s the door, oh darling
Living in love is bitter sweet
You’ve got to have faith on a lonely street
But I’ll be walking beside you through it all
And we’ll stand tall
When we’re blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other warm
Come sail into my arms
The harbor of my heart
And trust that love is all we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
Blown by the wind
Torn by the storm
We’ll always find the love we need
To keep each other warm
Come saild into my arms
The harbor of my heart
And trust that love is all we need
To keep each other, keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
Were going to keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
We’ll keep each other warm
SANDRA
***************
She’s a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
‘Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says, I swear I love my husband, I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn’t done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There’s so many things that she wishes
She don’t even know what she’s missin’
And that’s how she knows that she missed
She’s a sweetheart, except when she’s moody
It’s hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Oh but that happens now and again
She might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael’s kept late at the shop
A Martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn’t done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There’s so many things that she wishes
She don’t even know what she’s missin’
And that’s how she knows that she missed
Oh they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it’s seldom if ever they go
Once you’ve paid for the sitter and parkin’ the car
There’s no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)
It was real touch and go for a while
She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my, my mother
But if I hadn’t done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There’s so many things that she wishes
She don’t even know what she’s missin’
And that’s how she knows that she missed
YOUNG AT HEART
***************
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart.
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart.
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.
And life gets more exciting with each passing day.
And love is either in your heart, or on it’s way.
Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart.
For as rich as you are, it’s much better by far
To be young at heart.
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
