SOMETHING’S COMIN’ UP
By
Barry Manilow
***************
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
THE TWELFTH OF NEVER
***************
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I’ll love you,
I’ll tell you true Until the Twelfth of Never,
I’ll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I’ll love you ’til the bluebells forget to bloom
I’ll love you ’til the clover has lost its perfume
I’ll love you ’til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
SWEET HEAVEN (I’M IN LOVE AGAIN)
***************
Sweet heaven I’m in love again
Sweet heaven I’m in love again
You came along now what can I do
I only want to be with you
Sweet heaven here I go again
I’m hooked from head to toe again
One minute I’m so lonely and then
Oh sweet heaven
Hey babe
Now that I’ve found you life’s a song
Say babe
Where were you hiding I’ve been waiting so long
Sweet heaven I’m in love again
So totally in love again
I’ll shout it everywhere I go
I’ll sing it on the radio
I want the whole world to know
Sweet heaven I’m in love again
I’M GETTIN’ SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU
***************
I’m gettin’ sentimental over you
Things you say and do
Just thrill me through and through
I’m gettin’ sentimental over you
I thought I was happy
I could live without love
Now I must admit
Love is all that I’m thinking of
Won’t you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you’ll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I’m sentimental over you
Now I must admit
Love is all that I’m thinking of
Won’t you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you’ll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I’m sentimental over you
HAPPY HOLIDAYS / WHITE CHRISTMAS
***************
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calender keep bringing
Happy holiday to you
I’m dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I’m dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calender keep bringing
The most happy holiday to you
SUMMER OF ’78
***************
It was one of those summer’s
Lasting forever
Making the winter wait
A summer of music and passion
The summer of ’78
You appeared like the summer
Sudden and perfect
And not a day too late
I swear there was music when I found you
That summer of ’78
It seem we floated through the days
And nights were always filled with stars
And it seemed every song they played on the radio
Was ours
It was one of those summer’s
Only for lovers
Touched by the hand of faith
And now when the winter’s are long
I remember the summer of ’78
