SOME SWEET DAY
By
Barry Manilow
***************
All my life
I’ve been living in my fantasy
Songs of love
To help me through the night
All my life
I keep wondering where you’ll be
When, when will I finally see the light
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Where are you
Darling, how I need you now
Need your voice
I need to know your name
Where are you
Please try to get through somehow
I don’t want to be alone again
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
I’ve been shouting to the sky
And I keep on asking why
If I have to hold out much longer
I will surely die
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE - HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
***************
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are trav’lin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee,
The traffic is teriffic!
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home,sweet home
GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY
***************
Give my regards to broadway
Remember me to Harold Square
Tell all the gang at 42nd street
That I will soon be there
Whisper of how I’m yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old broadway
And say that I’ll be there airlong
I WAS A FOOL (TO LET YOU GO)
***************
After I’ve had my last cigarette
When the night is as black
As the nights goin’ to get
Well I’m still wild awake
Cause I still can’t forget
I was a fool, to let you go
And after I’ve close the bar with the boys
Though I can’t stand the drinks
And I can’t stand the noise
When I know I’ll be back
Cause their’s no other choice
I know I was a fool, to let you go
I was a fool, to think that I could sleep a wink
In this big and deep bed by myself
And I was a fool to wate ,until it was to late
To tell you just how I felt
And after I’ve been with somebody new
And she know’s what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I’ve lost
And I know it’s so true
No I was a fool, to let you go
And after I’ve been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I’ve lost
And I know it’s so true
When I seen what It caused
And what I’m going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go
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
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
