SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT (ACOUSTIC)
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Time, you found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I’ll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
You’ll sleep when the mornin’ comes
And I’ll lie and watch you sleepin’
And you’ll smile when you dream about the night
Like it’s a secret you’ve been keepin’
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night!!
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
WHERE DO I BEGIN? (THEME FROM LOVE STORY)
***************
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They’ll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I’m never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She’s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
WELCOME HOME
***************
In my life
I have seen
Far away places
Wild and serene
But nothing I saw
Prepared me for
The mat on the floor
Saying “welcome home”
Time flies
See the moon rise
As I’m makin’ my way
Through another long day
But I’ll go
To a place I know
In my heart I know
There’s just no place
Like home
Welcome home
Welcome home
To that place
That’s safe and warm
Always a shelter
From the storm
I’m going home
Welcome home
Roll out the welcome mat
For me!
I’m goin’ home
Sometimes
I remember
All the days I never knew
If I would ever make it through
But just when
I’d give up again
I’d remember when the days
Were stormy
Home was always
Waitin’ for me
Sayin’
Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
A welcoming light on
Just for me
When I go home
Welcome home
No place
That I would rather be
Than goin’ home
In my heart I know
That someday when my time
Is drawing near
I’m gonna hear
Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
Somebody waiting
There for me
When I go home
Home sweet home
Everyone’s smilin’ just for me
When I go home
In my heart I see
Somebody waiting
There for me
Welcome home
Welcome home
It looks like a
Starlight symphony
I’m goin’ home
AS SURE AS I’M STANDING HERE
***************
Sometimes I look at you
Sad and so beautiful
Young and alone
And so far from home
Much too much for you
Much too soon
Empty eyes gazin’ at the moon
As sure as I’m standing here
You’ll never have to be afraid
As sure as I’m standing here
I’ll try and help you find your way
Oh I swear, as sure as I’m standing here
You’ll never need to be alone
You’ve got my word
As sure as I’m standing here
Sometimes I look at you
Sleepin’ like a baby
Your hair combed with sunlight
Full of sweet days
You say nothin’ matters
Say you know how it is
Did you think it would be like this?
But sure as standing here
You’ll never have to be afraid
As sure as I’m standing here
I’ll try and help you find your way
Oh I swear, as sure as I’m standing here
You’ll never need to be alone
You’ve got my word
As sure as I’m standing here
Oh I swear as sure as I’m standing here
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE
***************
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
Oooh, but just for every, every, everyone
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is Love
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is love….
