SUMMER WIND
By
Barry Manilow
***************
The summer wind, came blowin’ in
From across the sea
It lingered there, to touch you hair
And walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song
And strolled the golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, the days and nights went flyin’ by
The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man one day it called to you
And I lost you, to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds have come and gone
And still the days, the lonely days go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
Well my fickle friend, the summer wind
That old summer wind
Talkin’ ’bout the summer wind
The summer wind
I’VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE
***************
Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I own it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you’ll ever know
So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control,no
Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say “Stay with me
Tonight.” Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM
***************
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING
***************
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You’d be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That’s the time you miss her most of all
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn
As the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You’d be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That’s the time you miss her most of all
CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU
***************
You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me
And you see I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you’re glad
I feel sad when you’re sad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
LAY ME DOWN
***************
Got dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold
I haven’t slept a wink
So I read your goodbye letter
To the face inside my drink
Lay me down and roll me out to sea
Got your picture in my wallet
And some pictures in my mind
A pocketfull of memories
I never thought I’d find
And it’s rainin’ like a Monday
And the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea
Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you’re ready shine your light on me
Now listen to my story
Cause I haven’t told it all
I saw her with her new love
She turned to me and called
When they asked, “How ya’ doing?”
I could crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea
Lay me down roll me out to sea
Callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you’re ready, shine your light on me
