SEVEN MORE YEARS
By
Barry Manilow
***************
David I said as I lay on my bed
another years gone bye
your starting your parole in the morning they said
please tell her I’m alright
seven more years if only if she can hold on
seven more years and I’ll be home again
David you got to tell her that I miss her
tell her I’ll miss every day till then
but tell her it ain’t so bad
and say you’re my friend
say that I’m ok
and tell her too wait for me
and I’ll be home again
getting home again
getting home again
David I said as he started to go
another years gone by
won’t you write me some time
I’ll miss you ,you know
but I’ll make out alright
seven more years if only I can hold on
seven more years and I’ll be home again
David you got to tell her that I miss her
tell her I’ll miss her every day till then
but tell her it ain’t so bad
please tell her my friend
say that I’m ok
and tell her to wait for me
and I’ll be home again
getting home again
getting home again
getting home,getting home again
seven more years if only I can hold on
seven more years and I’ll be home again
David you got to tell her that I miss her
tell her that I’ll miss her every day till then
I only got seven more years
I only got seven more years
I know I got only got seven more lousy years
I only got seven more years
I only got seven more lousy years
SOMETHING’S COMIN’ UP
***************
Did you ever feel somethin’ in the air
And you block it out, but you know it’s there
Did you ever find, things about to change
I can see the signs all along my way
And I can feel that
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
But there’s something dyin’
Something bein’ born
I think I’m gonna leave, I gotta get away
Maybe try Mill Valley, maybe try L.A.
The people I thought I loved
Well, we don’t think the same
There’s fury in my blood
And I can’t stand it one more day
And I can feel that
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
But there’s something dyin’
And something bein’ born
Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)
Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)
Something’s comin’ up (comin’ up)
Something’s comin’ up (really don’t know what it is)
Something’s comin’ up (really don’t know what it is)
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know what it is
Something’s comin’ up
And I don’t know where it’s gonna take me
DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH ME
***************
She was just a girl who knew the way
I was so naive
Everything she ever said to me
I wanted to believe
I was close to too far gone
When she sat me down and
Told me tenderly
Don’t fall in love with me
I’ll only break your heart
For us forever is just tomorrow
Don’t fall in love with me
Don’t let the fire start
If you should fall
I’m afraid I’ll follow you
Now I’m on the other side of love
Lookin’ right at you
There you are so young and sure
Your life has room enough for two
So it’s up to me to try and say
Words that didn’t stop me yesterday
WE STILL HAVE TIME
***************
Before the laughter ended
You were a part of me
Why did I ever let the distance grow
When there is still so much of you
I need to know
But we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
I don’t have all the answers
I don’t know where we’d start
I don’t know how
We’d try to find a way
I only know
That now I need to hear you say
That we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
We all have time
Yes, we still have time
To have it all
WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
***************
We’ve only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way.
And yes, We’ve just begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We’ve just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow,
And yes, We’ve just begun.
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!
