RIGHT HERE WAITING
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Ocean’s apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now
Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance
Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy
CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU (ACOUSTIC)
***************
You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me
And you see I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you’re glad
I feel sad when you’re sad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
A NICE BOY LIKE ME
***************
Walkin’ around
Uptight
And lookin’ for noise
Frantic on a Friday night
Just one of the boys
Phony defenses, they fall in my way
A case of hot fire turnin’ to stone
Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
Meetin’ Saturday mornin’ alone
Won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Just tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours?
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
Lost in the crowd
Alone
And drinkin’ my third
I’m hungry for company, but I can’t think of the words
Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplaced, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight!
Wontcha’ tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’ Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplased, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight
And tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice kid like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours
Dozin’ over roll of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
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
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
Mamma can you hear me
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
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
Got,got, got to have a sweet life
Got to have a sweet life
Daddy do you know what I mean
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
THE TWO OF US
***************
Now, we’re happy to sit, day after day
The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There’s a reason to stay together
Now, we’re happy to sit, night after night
The two of us
Conviced that it’s right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together
Afraid we’d always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care
And now, it’s almost enough, year after year
The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives together
IT’S ALL IN THE GAME
***************
Many a tear has to fall
But it’s all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future’s looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won’t call
But it’s all in the game
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
Then he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
