LET’S HANG ON
By
Barry Manilow
***************
There ain’t no good in our goodbyein’
True love takes a lot of tryin’
Ohh, I’m cryin’
Let’s hang on
To what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl
We got a lot
Got a lotta love between us
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
To what we got
You say you’re gonna go and call it quits
Gonna check it all and break
Our love to bits
Break it up
(I wish you’d never said it)
Break it up
(Oh, no we’ll both regret it)
That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain’t a fortune baby but you know it stands
For the love
(a love to tie and bind ya)
Such a love
(we both can’t leave behind us)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Think it over and stay
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do
I’d pay any price to get in good with you
Patch it up
(give me a second turnin’)
Patch it up
(don’t cool off while I’m burning)
You’ve got me cryin’ dyin’ at your door
Don’t shut me out
Ooh let me in once more
Open up
(your arms I need to hold you)
Open up
(your heart, oh girl I love you)
Baby
(don’t you know)
Baby
(don’t you go)
Think it over and stay
ONE OF THESE DAYS
***************
One of these days
One of these very ordinary days
Your going to call my name
And I won’t be there
After the days
After these very,very many days
Your going to see the light
And I won’t be there
And on that day
Some how I’ll find the strength to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
One of these days
Out of the blue you’ll start remembering
And I won’t care
Cause I won’t be there
Oh and on that day
I swear I’ll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
Thats what I say
Thats what I tell myself I won’t give in
So try it someday and you’ll see that I won’t be there
No you know,you know I won’t be there
One of these,one of these,one of these days
I won’t be there
SATURDAY NIGHT
***************
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
‘Cause that’s the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don’t mind Sunday night at all
‘Cause that’s the night friends come to call
And Monday to Fridays go fast
And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing a lonely song
And everything seems wrong
You know saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
And I sing a song for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you nocking at my door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night
Saturday night is the doggone lonelest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
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
ONE MORE TIME
***************
One more time
As we lie by the firelight
Let me hold you
Til you have to go away
Don’t let it end
Let me pretend you’ll stay
One more thrill
While we’re still in our solitude
One more moment
I can touch you tenderly
Can this be real?
Doesn’t it feel like a fantasy?
When the night moves on
I’m afraid you’ll be gone
With no reason or rhyme
So if I borrow
A bit of tomorrow
Is that such a crime?
Why can’t we make believe
That the evening has just begun
Close your eyes to the rising sun
And hold me one more time
When the night moves on
I’m afraid you’ll be gone
With no reason or rhyme
So if I borrow
A bit of tomorrow
Is that such a crime?
Why can’t we make believe
That the evening has just begun
Close your eyes to the rising sun
And hold me one more time
STARTING AGAIN
***************
And it started again
And I ment every word
And I like what I said
And I liked what I heard
And I started to think
I could think about starting again
We where laughing again
Over memories and wine
And the years in between
Didn’t seem along time
When I smile she knew why
In awhile it was starting again
And I started to think
I could feel again
All the bad times seemed unreal
When she looked in my eyes
The cheating , the lies , the things that where wrong
Seem far behind
And I started to think
I could care again
And my fears all disapper
When she called me by name
I knew that she changed
The flaws where all gone
The saint remained
But it started again
When I asked her to stay
And she said there’s this friend who’s in town just for today
And she really felt bad
But she had to be leavin again
And she left me again
As she left me before
Still pretending she cared when we kissed at the door
But I saw in her eyes
That the lies where all starting again
Just when I’d started to fell again
When all the bad times seemed unreal
When it all seemed so right
And I tough that tonight if she said she cared
She really might
Just when my fears disapeared again
And I heard what I wanted to hear
It all started again
And I knew what that meant
It wasn’t the start
It was really the end
