PUT YOUR DREAMS AWAY
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it’s time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I’ll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
BEYOND THE SEA
***************
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing
It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet (I know we’ll meet) beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing…
BORDER TRAIN
***************
Got nobody left to listen to
Got no promises to keep
Something’s gotta be out there
Fine a world for me out there
No more livin’ half asleep
There’s an island in the misty night
Little platform by the track
I dreamed I saw a light for me
A face, a place so right for me
That I’d never think of lookin’ back
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
City jumps up like a circus
Neon flutters out of sight
The town itself is traveling
America unraveling
And swallowed in the hungry night
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
There’ll come a time
With no goodbyes
When I’ll simply grab
That border train
And at journey’s end
They will all be real
My lovers and friends
And I swear to God
There’s time for me
And I’ll live the life I waited for!
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Please light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
I CAN’T GET STARTED
***************
I’ve flown around the world in a plane
I’ve settled revalations in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still I can’t get started with you
On the golf course, I’m under par
And Metro Golden’s asked me to star
I’ve got a house, a show place
Still I can’t get no place with you
Cause you’re so supreme
Lyrics I write of you
I dream, dream night and day of you
And I steam just for the sight of you
Baby what good does it do
I’ve been counsulted by Franklin D
And Greta Garbo gave me her key
Still I’m broken hearted
Cause I can’t get started with you
In 1929 I sold short
In England I’m presented a cord
But you’ve got me down hearted
Cause I can’t get started with you
BRING HIM HOME
***************
God on high
Here my pray
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He’s afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He’s like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summer’s die one by one
How soon they fly on and on
Before I’m old before I’m gone
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take you can give
Let him be let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
HE DOESN’T CARE (BUT I DO)
***************
So all alone
Little girl blue
You tell me the tale
And stand there crying
I’m here for you
You know that I care
Listening to you, inside I’m dying
Your heart may be breaking
But my heart is breaking too
He doesn’t care if you’re all alone
But I do
He doesn’t care if you come back home
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it too
I’m your best friend
A brother you say
Hurting me so
To see your sorrow
Knew all along
He’s not for you
Sadness and tears
But tomorrow
You’ll see how I need you
And maybe you’ll need me too
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it, too?
Oh, don’t throw your love away
On someone who doesn’t deserve it
If you belonged to me
I’d love you more each day
I’d take you
And make you believe what I say
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
