LEAVING IN THE MORNING
By
Barry Manilow
***************
I tried to tell you there’s trouble on the way
I lost the feling that I once had
But when I held you there was nothing I could say
I couldn’t bare to see you hurt so bad
So I’ll be leaving in the morning
Wishing that I could stay
And though I’ll miss you every morning
It’s the only way
So I’ll be leaving in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don’t know how to say goodbye
I tried to tell you there was something that I miss
Something I couldn’t dare to find with you
But I was blinded by your love every time we kissed
Afraid I never find a love so true
So I’ll be leaving in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don’t know how to say goodbye
I waited too long but now I see
It’s no good for you, it’s no good for me
You can’t see it now
But one day you’ll know I just had to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
So I’ll be leaving in the morning
Wishing that I could stay
And though I’ll miss you every morning
It’s the only way
So I’ll be leaving in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
***************
Have your self a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yule tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden day of yours
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shinning star
Upond the highest bow
And have your self a merry little christmas now
The’ll be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shinning star
Upond the highest bow
And have your self a merry little christmas now
A merry little christmas now
GETTING OVER LOSING YOU
***************
I had a feeling I’d run into you
It had to happen I just hoped not this soon
All I wanted was to speak your name
And maybe not start breakin’ down again
I hoped you’d see me with somebody new
And think that I was fine
But now it ain’t no use there’s nothing left to hide
You said I’d get over it You said it only takes time
That soon I’d be on my feet again
And over my cryin’
I fought every memory
I conquered a few
But what I can’t get over is getting over losing you
So much for being strong and nonchalant
But you’re the only girl I ever wanted
And if I ever tried to slow you dwon
I was only tryin’ to keep you safe and sound
Someday you’ll want someone to stand by you
And never let you down
When that day comes darlin’
You’ll know the hurt I’ve found
You said I’d get over it
You said it only takes times
That soon I’d be on my feet again
And over my cryin’
I fought every memory
I conquered a few
But what I can’t get over is getting over losing you
Don’t turn away
Darling I pray stay with me now
Stay with me now
Don’t throw away
Something we’ve paid so dearly for
You said I’d get over it
You said it only takes time
That soon I’d be on my feet again
And over my cryin’
I swear I fought every memory
I conquered a few
But what I can’t get over is getting over losing you
No what I can’t get over is getting over losing you
WHEN THE GOOD TIMES COME AGAIN
***************
Every rainbow has to have an end
A pot of gold or dreams foretold
May not be there my friend
In this high and mighty world we live in
Sometimes we have to break
Sometimes we have to bend
Until the good times come again
I’ll see you then
When the good times come again
When you and I have made it back
From the people and the places we have been
I’ll see you then
When the good times come again
The door that we go out of
Is door that we come in
When the good times come again
When the good times come again
Hope we both survive the world out there
You’ll never know what wind will blow
So don’t forget I care
And don’t forget the way we felt together
Sometimes we have to hold
To all the good that’s been
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
***************
(January to December)
(We’ll have moments to remember)
The New Year’s Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
(The drive in movie where we’d go)
(And somehow never watched the show)
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
IF I SHOULD LOVE AGAIN
***************
Oh my love
You were the only one
Now you’re gone and I’m alone
All my friends
They say what’s done is done
I pretend
But deep inside I know
If I should love again
If I find someone new
It would be make-believe
For in my heart
It would be you
And though I hold her close
And want her now and then
I’ll still be loving you
If I should love again
All day long
I keep remembering
All the night
I think of you
All my life
You’ll be the song I sing
I’ll get by
But this I swear is true
If I should love again
