I’VE GOT MY LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM
By
Barry Manilow
***************
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
NO OTHER LOVE
***************
There were no violins
There were no soft guitars
Hot summer love under the city stars
I was Mr. Dynamite
And you were my only girl
We held each other through the night
Caught in the whirl
No other love
In all of the world
In all of my life
There was no other love
There was no fireside
No Beaujolais for two
Winter was cold but we had me and you
All the words we used to say
All the crazy plans we made
We were so nieve that way
So unafraid
I don’t know where it went
Turned into yesterday
Time comes and goes like music in a play
Looking back I still don’t know
Why we ever had to end
And it’s so hard letting go
Of what we had then
LOSING TOUCH
***************
I can tell something up
You havn’t touched your scotch
You’ve been starring out the window
Now your starring at you watch
And lately that’s been happening to much
I think we’re losing touch
Is it something that I’ve done
Or thing I never said
It’s been getting pretty quiet
There on you side of the bed
Remember when we used to talk so much
I think we’re loseing touch
After all the love we found together
Who had ever guessed ,that we could fall
After all the things we had in common
Where they to commom after all
Won’t you tell me what’s wrong
I haven’t got a clue
Is there something we can take for this
Or somethink we can do
Together you and I have had so much
There’s so much to lose
And I think we’re losing touch
ONE VOICE
***************
Just One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Singing so they hear what’s on your mind,
And when you look around you’ll find
There’s more than
One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
Joining with your One Voice,
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked,
If only
One Voice
Would start it on its own
We need just One Voice
Facing the unknown,
And that One Voice
Would never be alone
It takes that One Voice.
Ba ba ba da da da da,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
It takes that one voice
Just One Voice
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Shout it out and let it ring.
Just One Voice,
It takes that One Voice,
And everyone will sing!
WELCOME HOME
***************
In my life
I have seen
Far away places
Wild and serene
But nothing I saw
Prepared me for
The mat on the floor
Saying “welcome home”
Time flies
See the moon rise
As I’m makin’ my way
Through another long day
But I’ll go
To a place I know
In my heart I know
There’s just no place
Like home
Welcome home
Welcome home
To that place
That’s safe and warm
Always a shelter
From the storm
I’m going home
Welcome home
Roll out the welcome mat
For me!
I’m goin’ home
Sometimes
I remember
All the days I never knew
If I would ever make it through
But just when
I’d give up again
I’d remember when the days
Were stormy
Home was always
Waitin’ for me
Sayin’
Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
A welcoming light on
Just for me
When I go home
Welcome home
No place
That I would rather be
Than goin’ home
In my heart I know
That someday when my time
Is drawing near
I’m gonna hear
Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
Somebody waiting
There for me
When I go home
Home sweet home
Everyone’s smilin’ just for me
When I go home
In my heart I see
Somebody waiting
There for me
Welcome home
Welcome home
It looks like a
Starlight symphony
I’m goin’ home
BOBBIE LEE (WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE, I GOTTA LIVE)
***************
Her name is Bobbie Lee and she’s movin’
She’s gotta make her dream come true
Some might said she took a dead wrong turn
But she took the only road she knew
There’s nothin’ gonna stop or stall her
And luck is on her side tonight
They’re pullin over to the curb to call her
Man, she loves these city lights
She says
So what’s the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
And I wanna go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time
And I don’t want you fillin’ funny
Just think of Bonnie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin by by sellin’ honey
She’s got this picture of her brother
That she took when she left home
She rolled her hair up like her mother
With her mother’s ivory comb
She was sweet sixteen last easter
But she know how to treat you right
Tomorrow she’s gonna be in the movies
But she won’t forget tonight
She says
So what’s the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I wanna go where the apples grow
And all that I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time
And I don’t want you fellin funny
You just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin’ by by sellin honey
So what’s the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I gotta go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy bye time
And I don’t want you fellin funny
You just keep thinking of Bobbie Lee like that busy,busy bee
Gettin’ by by sellin honey
