SUMMERTIME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby don’t you cry
One of these mornin’s you’re gonna rise up singin’
Then you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take to the sky
But ’til that mornin’ there’s anothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin’ by
Oh, Summertime
And the livin’ is easy
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
Fish are jumpin
And the cotton is high
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby don’t you cry
Cry, cry

THERE’S A KIND OF HUSH (ALL OVER THE WORLD)
***************
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There’s nobody else and I’m feeling good just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are fallin’ in love
Yeah, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
***************
Grab your coat
Don’t forget your hat
We’ll leave your worries
Leave them on the doorstep
My sweet
Just direct your feet
To the sun, sunny side of the street
Hop bop a doddle zag
Pitter pat
You know that happy tune
Is my step
Life’s all weak
If you dig that beat
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Used to walk in the shade
With my blues on parade
What a drag old man
Getting stuck in the shade
Get hit, don’t be afraid
Move it on over
Feel yourself in the clover
YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND
***************
When you’re down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
Yes I will
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY
***************
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do.
