MY MOONLIGHT MEMORIES OF YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
One time in everybody’s life
There is a moment
Like the moment we knew
And if you’re a fool
You’ll let it slip away
Sometime in everybody’s life
There is a feeling
A feeling so real
And once it’s gone it can never be replaced
I’m dancing with a shadow
Holding on to a dream that’ll never come true
Still haunted by that old love song
My moonlight memories of you
My heart is like a ghost town
To every stranger that passes on through
All they find there
Is what you left behind there
My moonlight memories of you
You thought when you left me
I’ll let you go
But here I am loving you more
Then you’ll ever know
If I could hold you
Feel your heart beat
Just one more time
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
’cause without your love
I’ll never be free of
My moonlight memories of you
One time in everybody’s life
There is a moment
Like the moment we knew
And if you’re a fool
You’ll let it slip away
I’m dancing with a shadow
Holding on to a dream that’ll never come true
Still haunted by that old love song
My moonlight memories of you
My moonlight memories of you
SWEET LIFE
***************
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
I’m going to be a farmer
Blowing the fields in the morning sun
I’ll have a millon horses
Take me a ride when the work is done
I’m going to have a sweet life
Sweetest life you ever seen
And when the day is over
Going to go to sleep in the field of green
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
Going to be a acter
Playing a part in a light of gold
Oh yes I will
I’m going to make a lot of money
Going to spend it all before I get to old
And I’m going to have a sweet life
Sweetest life you ever seen
And you know when the day is over now
I’m going to go to sleep in a field of green
Mamma can you hear me

EVEN NOW
***************
Even Now
When there’s someone else who cares
When there’s someone home who’s waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I’m climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won’t see
That even now
When I know it wasn’t right
And I found a better life than what we had
Even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
And I can’t believe it still could hurt so bad
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it’s still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew
Even now
Even now
When I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you been gone
Even now I still remember and the feeling’s still the same
And the pain inside of me goes on and on
Even now
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it’s still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And God I wish you knew
Some how
Even now
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
***************
Ooh ooh
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We’ve know each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
A LITTLE TRAVELING MUSIC PLEASE
***************
On the road so long and lonely
Can’t believe I’m headed home to stay
God I miss my one and only
A little traveling music please
Seems we’re always seperating
Still she doesn’t let me lose my way
Home is anywhere she’s waiting
A little traveling music please
I may forget how much I care
But once I’ve left her laughter
Two and three days after
I’m aware how much I miss her there
This time I’ll stay home forever
Hold her close and turn the world away
Even if it’s not forever
It it’ll keep me from unraveling
A little traveling music please
Two and three days after
I’m aware how much I miss her there
This time I’ll stay home forever
Hold her close and turn the world away
Even if it’s not forever
She’s going to keep me from unraveling
A little traveling music please
A little traveling music please
