IT’S ALL IN THE GAME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Many a tear has to fall
But it’s all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future’s looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won’t call
But it’s all in the game
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
Then he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
THE TWELFTH OF NEVER
***************
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I’ll love you,
I’ll tell you true Until the Twelfth of Never,
I’ll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I’ll love you ’til the bluebells forget to bloom
I’ll love you ’til the clover has lost its perfume
I’ll love you ’til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
***************
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “Be of good cheer”
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It’s the hap -happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap – happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s The Most Wonderful Time
It’s The Most Wonderful Time
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD
***************
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you’re not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it’s all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It’s sad, so sad
It’s a sad, sad situation
And it’s getting more and more absurd
It’s sad, so sad
Why can’t we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
LET’S GET ON WITH IT
***************
Whatcha’ gonna do it with my time darlin’
Whatcha’ gonna do with my soul
When ya’ gonna make up your mind about me
Whatcha’ you still need to know
When are ya gonna walk out the door forever
When are ya gonna run and hide
Darlin’ can’t ya see that it’s now or never
Say you’re gonna stay or say good-bye
But let’s get on with it
Let’s get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either foward or else it’s backward
But nothing ever stands still
So let’s get on with it
Whatcha’ gonna do with the hope inside you
Whatcha’ gonna do with your dreams
How ya gonna live with all those mem’ries
Wonderin’ how it might have been
All I’m askin’ is keep on tryin’
All ya gotta dois hold on
No ones gonna guaruntee tomorrow
But it’s gonna be here before too long
So let’s get on with it
Let’s get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either foward or else it’s backward
But nothing ever stands still
So let’s get on with it
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
***************
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you
