IT’S JUST ANOTHER NEW YEAR’S EVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Don’t look so sad,
It’s not so bad you know.
It’s just another night,
That’s all it is.
It’s not the first,
It’s not the worst you know,
We’ve come through all the rest,
We’ll get through this.
We’ve made mistakes,
But we’ve made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans,
Who says they can’t come true?
Tonight’s another chance to start again.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we’re through this New Year
You’ll see, will be
Just fine.
We’re not alone, we’ve got the world you know.
And it won’t let us down, just wait and see.
And we’ll grow old, but think how wise we’ll grow.
There’s more you know, it’s only New Year’s Eve.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we’re through this New Year, you’ll see, will be
Just fine.
I’VE GOT MY LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM
***************
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
I can’t remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Out with the fire off with the sweater
I got a heater coultn’t be better will be
So confee all through the storm
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
FOOLS GET LUCKY
***************
When I see you lying there
Like a living answered prayer
There are no words
For what I feel for you
My life was once a high trapeze
You pulled me down
And gave me peace
That’s something no one else
Could ever do
And on nights like tonight
It scares me recalling
How close I came to falling
But fools get lucky
Fortune must like me
When people ask where you came from
I tell them that
Fools get lucky
Destiny likes me
It must be one of nature’s rules
Love like yours
Should save the fools like me
When I see the good times shine
On this wayward life of mine
I tell the world
It’s all because of you
Like me
Like me
ANGEL EYES
***************
Try to think that love’s not around
Still it’s uncomfortably near
My old heart ain’t gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain’t here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love’s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
But pardon me I got to run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
I gotta find who’s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Pardon me I got to run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
See I gotta find who’s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Excuse me while I disappear
WINNER GO DOWN
***************
Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it?
Fame, fame, fame, can you take it?
Fame, fame, fame, are you ready?
Fame, fame, fame, will you make it?
You were touched
With the gold
Of a warm summer morning
A symphony born in the sun
They loved you like pagans
And followed your climb
The strongest
Most beautiful one
You’ve flown to the clouds
Where the air’s very thin
And the word is out
All around town
They’ve lined up for miles
With their holiday grins
They love to see
A winner go down
Winner go down
Learning to lose
Lie in the gravel
Bathe in the blues
They’ll run to the rooftops
Screaming the news
Winner go down
Winner go down
And now the arena
Is quiet and darkened
The crowd is covered in smiles
They’re holding their breath
At the thought of the slaughter
But you sure kept ‘em waiting awhile
They built up your legend
And danced in your light
‘Til they longed
For the day to come ‘round
When they’d see you break down
And cry like a baby
They love to see a winner go down
Winner go down
Learning to lose
Lie in the gravel
Bathe in the blues
They’ll run to the rooftops
Screaming the news
Winner go down
Winner go down
Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it?
Fame, fame, fame, can you take it?
Fame, fame
The trial is over
The crowd has gone home
Yes, all their predictions came true
But even the thrill
Being there for the fall
It’s just glory they borrowed from you
Winner go down
Learning to lose
Lie in the gravel
Bathe in the blues
They’ll run to the rooftops
Screaming the news
Winner go down
They love to see a winner go down
Learning to lose
Lie in the gravel
Bathe in the blues
They’ll run to the rooftops
Screaming the news
Winner go down
I hate to see a winner go down
I’LL BE SEEING YOU
***************
I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mind embrases
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children’s carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
And I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
Oh but
I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you
