SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD
By
Barry Manilow
***************
We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn’t have you for a long time
Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores
And if they’re calling you away
I have no right to make you stay
But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn’t really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know the heart of yours
Will come to see
That you belong to me
Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn’t matter if you’re gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home
And somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn’t really matter where
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
Will come to see
That you belong with me
Letting go is just another way to say
I’ll always love you so
We had the right love at the wrong time
Maybe we’ve only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come
Cause somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn’t really matter where
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
Will come to see
That you belong with me
ALL THE TIME
***************
All the time I thought
There’s only me
Crazy in a way
That no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
If someone would have said you’re not alone
All the time I thought
That I was wrong
Wanting to be me,but needing to belong
If I had just beleaved in all I had
If someone would have said you’re not so bad
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
All the time I thought
There’s only me
Crazy in way that no one else could be
I can’t believe that you where somewhere too
Thinking all the time there’s only you
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
PLEASE DON’T BE SCARED
***************
There’s a light, behind your eyes
I see it shining, it only fades when you cry
There’s a heart that beats so strong
I feel it dying when the night time lasts too long
Now you and I have lived our century
And all I can say is what you offered to me
Please don’t be scared
’cause I’ve stood there too
Between survival and the right thing to do
’cause only the strong, admit their fears
And if you really need me
I’ll always be here
The parties and the lights
Fade to memories in the still of the night
And you wonder in your mind
If there’s nothing left to show for all the time
’cause feeling pain is a hard way to know you’re still alive
But someday someone will make you glad you survived REPEAT CHORUS
‘Cause feeling pain is a hard way to know you’re still alive
Someday someone will make you glad you survived
LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
***************
Love is a many splendored thing
It’s the April rose
That only grows in the early spring
Love is nature’s way of giving
A reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love’s
A many splendored thing
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love’s
A many splendored thing
OH MY LADY
***************
First they told me
That they loved me
Dressed me up in the light of gold
All they wanted was to know me
Gotta get me on before I get too old
Then they told me I was big time
Lots of favors of limosine
This might be what they told me it would be
But I’m not sure it’s what I need
Not what I need
Now, won’t you tell me
Oh, my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady
To share it with me
Oh, to share it with me
First they told me
I could love you
And then they told me never mind
Never mind
Gotta keep those cards and letters flowing in my friend
Gotta try and have a real good
Real good time
Now wouldn’t you tell me
Oh my lady
Where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
Oh to share it with me
Now woun’t you tell me
Oh where’s my lady
All this glory
Where’s my lady to share it with me
To share, to share it with me
Oh my lady
I DON’T WANNA KNOW
***************
How can you treat me so badly?
I gave my heart to you gladly
Don’t try to explain
You’ll drive me insane
If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know
Don’t tell me how you’ll love me forever
Don’t say that someday we’ll be together
Stop tryin’ to be kind
You were never really mind
And every word you say
Just drives me out of my mind
If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know
How could I be so blind
I thought we were doin’ fine
You never said a word
Never gave me a sign
If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know
