ONE MORE TIME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
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
JUST REMEMBER I LOVE YOU
***************
When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
The days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feeling you were born to lose
Staring at your ceiling
Thinking of your blues
When there’s so much trouble that you want to cry
The world has crumbled
And you don’t know why
When your hopes are fading
And they can’t be found
Dreams have left you waiting
Friends have let you down
Just remember I love you and it’ll be alright
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Just remember I love you
And it’ll be alright
Maybe then your blues will fade away
When you need a lover
And you’re down so low
You start to wonder
But you never know
When it feels like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow
You’ll feel this way again
When the blues come calling
At the break of dawn
The rain keeps falling
But the rainbow’s gone
When you feel like crying
And the tears won’t come
Then your dreams are dying
Then you’re on the run
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Just remember I love you
And it’ll be alright
THEY GAVE IN TO THE BLUES
***************
There’s a women in this town
Drowning in a river of her own tears
Crying for a man who’s name she can’t remember
Cause it’s been to many years
Made up her mind
The day he left her behind
She’d never find a man like him again
So she closed the door
And never looked any more
So of course she’s been alone since then
She gave in to the blues
So you know she just had to lose
Soon as she gave in to the blues
There’s a man who won’t try to ask her why
He says only fools even play the game
Never have the breaks, the money that it takes
So he says he’s not to blame
Started to drink, the day he started to think
The world was out to bring him down for good
So he close the door and drank a little bit more
And went down just like they said he would
He gave in to the blues
So you know he just had to lose
Soon as he give in to the blues
They give in to the blues
So you know they just had to lose
Soon as they give in to the blues
No don’t you give in to the blues
No,no don’t you give in to the blues
No don’t you give in
Don’t you give in’
Don’t you give up
Don’t you give out
Don’t you give in to the blues
No, no don’t you give in to the blues
I’VE NEVER BEEN SO LOW ON LOVE
***************
Well, I’ve never been so low on love
And I know I never hurt so bad
I never tried so hard
Just to see it fall apart
Just to lose the sweetest love I ever had
Well I’ve never been so low on love
And I know I’ll never be the same
I know you meant to stay
So if I drove you away
Oh I know that I’m the only one to blame
They say that everyday should make me stronger
And one day I won’t think of you at all
But everyday you’re gone the days get longer
And all I do is wait for you to call
Well I’ve never been so low on love
And I know that as the years go by
I’ll still be lovin’ you
When I’m holdin’ someone new
And when I think about the tears you made
Me cry
I know you never really cared enough
And I’ve never been so low on love
YOUNG AT HEART
***************
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart.
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart.
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.
And life gets more exciting with each passing day.
And love is either in your heart, or on it’s way.
Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart.
For as rich as you are, it’s much better by far
To be young at heart.
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
SUMMER OF ’78
***************
It was one of those summer’s
Lasting forever
Making the winter wait
A summer of music and passion
The summer of ’78
You appeared like the summer
Sudden and perfect
And not a day too late
I swear there was music when I found you
That summer of ’78
It seem we floated through the days
And nights were always filled with stars
And it seemed every song they played on the radio
Was ours
It was one of those summer’s
Only for lovers
Touched by the hand of faith
And now when the winter’s are long
I remember the summer of ’78
