LUCK BE A LADY
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you ever been a lady
To begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the other way you treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair it isn’t nice
A lady doesn’t wonder all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
A lady wouldn’t flirt with strangers
She have a heart
She have a soul
A lady wouldn’t make little snake eyes at me
When I bet my life on this roll
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Tonight, ha
BECAUSE IT’S CHRISTMAS
***************
Unto us a son is given
Unto us a son is given
Unto us a son is given
Unto us a child is born
Tonight the stars shine for the children
And light the way for dreams to fly
Tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons
The world is right
And hopes are high
And from a dark
And frosted window
A child appears
To search the sky
Because it’s Christmas
Because it’s Christmas
Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so we send our tender blessings
To all the children everywhere
To see the smiles and hear the laughter
A time to give
A time to share
Because it’s Christmas
For now and forever
For all of the children
And for the children in us all
Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so we send our tender blessings
To all the children everywhere
To see the smiles and hear the laughter
A time to give
A time to share
Because it’s Christmas
For now and forever
For all of the children
And for the children in us all
THE CHRISTMAS WALTZ
***************
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa’s on his way
He’s filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It’s that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev’ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
I’LL BE WITH YOU - IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME
***************
I’ll be with you in apple blossom time
I’ll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May I’ll come and say
Happy the bride the sunshine’s on today
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time
What a wonderful wedding day there will be
One day in May
What a very very wonderful day
For you and me dear
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple, in apple blossom time
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
WHY DON’T WE LIVE TOGETHER
***************
Why don’t we live together
Only the two of us, we’ll learn to trust
Don’t have to say forever
’cause we know the rain could start and break our hearts
But we’ll never find the future if we hesitate
We’ll spend our lives waiting
Why don’t we live together, taking it day by day we’ll find a way
To build us a dream that’s better
And still have our wings to fly if love should die
We can’t spend our lives rehearsing all these lines of love
It’s time to raise the curtain
Why don’t we live together whether love lives or dies
At least we’ll know we tried
We’ve both been burned before
But now we know this love is sure
And there’ll be no more sorrow
This love is burnin’ bright it lights up tomorrow
Why don’t we live together takin’ lifes rocky ride
Side by side
Sailin’ thru stormy weather
Searchin’ for sunny skies with open eyes
Sharin’ the tears and the laughter is the only way
We’ll find the love we’re after
Oh why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies at least we’ll know we tried
Why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies at least we’ll know we tried
Why don’t we live together
Whether love lives or dies lets take a chance let’s try
