RIDERS TO THE STARS
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Christy wants a millionaire, a miracle in the rain
Everybody’s lookin’ to find their heaven,
never come back again
People keep searchin’ up and down
Joinin’ in the latest thing
And I run around lookin’ for love
Waitin’ for bells to ring
Riders to the stars
We are flyin’, we are fallin’
And I can see the clouds rollin’ by
Riders to the stars
We are sailin’, we are soarin’
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars
Billy wants a fancy car,
says it’s just what he needs
Folks into showin’, just what they’re blowin’
Followin’ foolish leads
And Christy wants to find her millionaire,
her miracle in the rain
And I lift my head right up to the sun
Never look down again
Riders to the stars
We are flyin’, we are fallin’
And I can see the clouds rollin’ by
Riders to the stars
We are sailin’, we are soarin’
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars
Some folks have money, and others survive
God knows, it’s not easy just bein’ alive
The dreamer dreams on, and dreams never die
Long as we try, long as we try
Riders to the stars
We are flyin’, we are fallin’
And I can see the clouds rollin’ by
Riders to the stars We are sailin’, we are soarin’
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG
***************
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you make me feel so young
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
Cause you make me young
Give me songs to be sung
Fell like bells should be rung
And a wonderful fling should be flung
And even when I’m old and grey
I’m gonna fell the way I do today
Cause you make me feel so
You make me feel so
You make me feel
I feel so young
IN SEARCH OF LOVE
***************
There is somebody
In this world somebody
She was but on earth for me
Where can her love be?
See, I’m no exception
I need real affection
What’s life worth living for
If no to give it all
So…I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Well, I’m going crazy
Only you can save me
From the tears and loneliness
Girl, I must confess
That day or night time
There is no right time
For a heart to be alone
I just can’t go on
So…I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Don’t make me beg
Don’t make me plead
Just go ahead and give me what I need
Set me free
Answer me
Can’t you hear me calling out to you
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I’m reaching out
I’m in search of love
You’re everything that I’m dreamin’ off
I can’t give up, no!
I’D REALLY LOVE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT
***************
Hello, yea it’s been awhile
Not much, how ’bout you
I’m not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for awhile
It’s been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see it really doesn’t matter much to me
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
I won’t ask for promise
So don’t have to lie
We both play that game before
Say I love you to say goodbye
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
Babe
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you
Tonight
HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART
***************
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
***************
Before I knew that I was blessed
When I was just like the rest of the people
Who never let dreams in their minds
Music would play and say
Maybe you’re wastin’ your time
Before I knew what good could be
When I couldn’t see the need or the reason
For trusting in me or my star
Music would play and say
Hey, what a dummy you are!
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin’ to me about love of a fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That’s when I said,
“Gotta get some of that for myself”
And when I heard about hurtin’ and healin’
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin’ could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You’re beautiful
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Before I saw my life in lights
When I couldn’t taste the nights I was missin’
I’d listen alone in my bed
And music would sing to me
Things no one else even said
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin’ to me about love of a fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That’s when I said,
“Gotta get some of that for myself”
And when I heard about hurtin’ and healin’
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin’ could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You’re beautiful
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
Beautiful, Beautiful Music
And now I laugh and now I cry like a baby
Livin’ and lovin’ each day
And just maybe
For all the good things that came true
Beautiful music
The best of my blessings is you
You’re beautiful
Beautiful music
