LET’S TAKE ALL NIGHT (TO SAY GOODBYE)
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Two A.M
Two of us
Come sunrise I’m leavin’
You know I must
I can’t bear the heartache
That’s in your eyes
So let’s take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let’s take all night to say goodbye
’cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
So let’s take all night
Smile for me
Why don’t we
Make this the sweetest of memories
The love that we make now
Is all we have
So let’s take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let’s take all night to say goodbye
’cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
Let’s take each moment
And every desire
You make the coffee
And I’ll light the fire
And will take all night to say goodbye
You know I want to stay
How I want to stay
Let’s take all night to say goodbye
’cause goodbye is hard to say
Oh so hard to say
BRING ON TOMORROW
***************
Sleep baby, sleep
lose yesterday’s blues
when you’re ready for morning
have I got news..
our ship’s in the harbor…
the street’s turning gold
whatever you’re dreaming, it’s no longer on hold..
Dream baby, dream
while you were asleep
I had mountains to climb and a promise to keep
now home is the hunter and holding the prize
I’m waiting tell you when you open your eyes
Bring on tomorrow for me and for you
we hung on through dark hours..dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun
we’ll live it together cause you are the one.
Smile baby, smile
through canyon’s of night
but you’ll really be smiling by morning’s light
they told us we’re crazy
they promised I’d lose
forgive and forget them…
they’re yesterday’s news..
Bring on tomorrow for me and for you
we hung on through dark hours…dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun
we’ll live it together cause you’re the one..
Without you it’s nothing..
why else would I climb?
Together forever, hearts beating in time..
Oh…bring on tomorrow for me and for you…
we hung on through dark hours, dawn’s overdue
bring on tomorrow and show me the sun..
we’ll live it together cause you are the one
CAROL OF THE BELLS
***************
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, “Throw cares away.”
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh how happy are their tones
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
On, on they send on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
On, on they send on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
THE TWO OF US
***************
Now, we’re happy to sit, day after day
The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There’s a reason to stay together
Now, we’re happy to sit, night after night
The two of us
Conviced that it’s right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together
Afraid we’d always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care
And now, it’s almost enough, year after year
The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives together
BOLERO DE AMOR
***************
There are times
You live as if in a dream
Drawn by your heart to a distant door
One that opens
For a moment
To a world that you’ve never known before
Were you real
Or were you part of a dream
Calling to me from across the floor?
In your sweet voice
There was music
And we danced the bolero de amor
Let the drums carry us away!
They say all there is to say
And all too soon the night becomes the day
And magical – miracle
You are real
And we are living a dream
Sharing a love we have hungered for
Let your passion soar like music
In the spell of bolero de amor
The drums carried us away
They said all there was to say
And all too soon the night became day
And magical-miracle
There are times
You live as if in a dream
Drawn by your heart to a distant door
Trust your heart and
Take the moment
When you hear
Your bolero de amor
Amor
Amor!
WHO’S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED
***************
Something’s in the air
I answer the phone and there’s nobody there
And your changin’ the way that you’re wearin your hair
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
Something’s on my mind
The letters you get, cigarettes that I find
And you know I have to be deaf ,dumb and blind
Not to wonder
Not to wonder
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Gettin’ what I get
When I don’t get it
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Yeah, that’s what I said
I just don’t get it
Who’s been sleepin’
Who’s been sleepin’ in my bed
Little things I miss
The ring on your finger, the fire in your kiss
How the hell could the love that we had come to this
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
I don’t understand
The paperboy winks at the telephone man
And the milkman he smiles when he’s shakin’ my hand
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Gettin’what I get
When I don’t get it
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Yeah, that’s what I said
I just don’t get it
Who’s been sleepin’
Who’s been sleepin’ in my bed
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Gettin’ what I get
When I don’t get it
Who’s been sleepin’ in my bed
Yeah, that’s what I said
I just don’t get it
Who’s been sleepin’
Who’s been sleepin in my bed
Who’s been sleepin’in my bed
Who’s been sleepin’in my bed
Who’s been sleepin’in my bed
Who’s been sleepin’in my bed
Who’s been
You got to tell me
You got to, got to, got to got to tell me, come on
Hell I could see it your eyes that you’ve been seein’ other guys
Tell me who’s been sleepin’ in my bed
Cause when I come back home I know you haven’t been alone
Now tell me who’s been sleepin’ in my bed
Ah somethings in the air, you know I fell it everywhere
Because the little thinks I miss, I miss the fire in your kiss
Tell me who’s been sleepin’ in by bed
