IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don’t count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG
***************
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you make me feel so young
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
Cause you make me young
Give me songs to be sung
Fell like bells should be rung
And a wonderful fling should be flung
And even when I’m old and grey
I’m gonna fell the way I do today
Cause you make me feel so
You make me feel so
You make me feel
I feel so young
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
AND THE ANGELS SING
***************
We meet and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
We speak and the angels sing
Or am I reading music into every word
Suddenly the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore
Then suddenly I see it all change
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming
Through it all, your face that I adore
You smile and the angels sing
And though it’s just a gentle murmur at the start
We kiss and the angels sing
And leave there music ringing in my heart
You smile and the angels sing
And though it’s just a gentle murmur at the start
We kiss and the angels sing
And leave there music ringing in my heart
SUMMER OF ’78
***************
It was one of those summer’s
Lasting forever
Making the winter wait
A summer of music and passion
The summer of ’78
You appeared like the summer
Sudden and perfect
And not a day too late
I swear there was music when I found you
That summer of ’78
It seem we floated through the days
And nights were always filled with stars
And it seemed every song they played on the radio
Was ours
It was one of those summer’s
Only for lovers
Touched by the hand of faith
And now when the winter’s are long
I remember the summer of ’78
SWING STREET
***************
It’s raining down sorrow
And nothing bad news
You know I’ve had it up to here living with these blues
But I won’t let it get me down
It’s not the only game in town
In my mind, I’m goin’ to Swing Street
I’m a dreamer on a rough road
And I need to hear the music once again
When there’s nothing but bad news,
I’ve got a way to beat the blues
I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street
You can dance there, there’s a chance there
Of finding a little romance there
You don’t know who you’ll meet
When you’re down on Swing Street
Lose your blues in a minute
Cop a groove and you’re in it
I’m tellin’ you once, I’m tellin’ you twice
Better take my advice
If you’re weepin’ and you’re wailin’
I’ve got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin,
Count to four and grab my hand say I’ll meet
You by the band
You and I , we’re goin’ to Swing Street
Give yourself to the rhythm
And every wrong is forgiven
You may even lose the bluest of blues
Get back on your feet
When your best friends turn to strangers
And one more workin’ day don’t seem worth
All the changes
Just reach out and take my hand and I’ll meet
You by the band
You and I, we’re goin’ to Swing Street
Yes you and I, we’re going to go to Swing Street
