IT’S ALL BEHIND US NOW
By
Barry Manilow
***************
I spent my whole life thinking
Oh, that there could not be
Anyone in this world
Who’d show me they care
Who’d really be there to love me
Now you’re holding me
And I see in your eyes
That you been lonely too baby
We’ve been all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it’s all behind us now
Everytime I looked for love
It looked the other way
Now love has turned around
It’s smiling at me
Now someone loves me
All the nights in the moonlight
With no one to hold
Take a good look at us baby
We’ve been all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it’s all behind us
Every dream is coming true
Now that I’m holding you near
Happiness without a end
I feel alive again
Suddenly I can not even remember when
We were all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well, it’s all behind us now
It’s all behind us now
MOONLIGHT SERENADE
***************
I stand at your gate
And the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June light
The roses are side you
A moonlight serenade
The star’s are a glow
And tonight how there light
Sets me dreaming
My love do you know
That your eyes, are like stars
Brightly beaming
I bring you, and sing you
A moonlight serenade
Let us stray, till break of day
In loves valley of dreams
Just you and I
A summer sky
A heavenly breeze
Kissing the trees
So don’t let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darlin
A moonlight serenade
So don’t let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darlin
A moonlight serenade
A moonlight serenade
SOME GIRLS
***************
Some girls will,some girls won’t
Some girls need alot of lovin’,and some
Girls don’t
Well,I know I’ve got the fever but I don’t know why
Some say they will and some girls lie
So here I am in front of you
Not really knowing what to do
My heart is feeling something new
Nervously I turn away from you
I see those looks you’re sending me
Is this the way it’s meant to be?
It’s something we should talk about
Just give me time to work it out
Some girls will,some girls won’t
Some girls need alot of lovin’ and some
Girls don’t
Well,I know I’ve got the fever but I don’t
Know why
Some say they will and some girls lie
I find your company to be
Something completely new to me
Now that I know you socially
Obviously I’ll fall heavily
I’ve seen those looks you’re sending me
This is the way it’s meant to be
There’s nothing left to talk about
Oh,how I wish you’d work it out
Some girls will,and some girls won’t
Some girls need a lot of lovin’ and some
Girls don’t
Well,I’ve got the fever but I don’t know why
Some say they will and some girls lie
Some girls will,and some girls won’t
Some girls need a lot of lovin’ and some
Girls don’t
Well,I’ve got the fever but I don’t know why
Some say they will and some girls
Some girls
Some girls
Well you know,you know what I mean
Some girls will,and some girls won’t
Some girls need a lot of lovin’ and some
Girls don’t
Well,I’ve got the fever but I don’t know why
Some say they will and some girls lie
PUT YOUR DREAMS AWAY
***************
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it’s time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I’ll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE - HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
***************
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are trav’lin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee,
The traffic is teriffic!
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home,sweet home
THE WAY WE WERE
***************
Mem’ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember…
The way we were…
The way we were…
