SUNRISE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
And so it began
As I sat by my window
All by myself in the dawn
No body else
No polite conversation
Just waiting for life to come on
And I see the sunrise over the ocean
Sunrise on the sea
I’m watching the sunrise
I’m glad to be living
Sunrise , shine over me
I think of my life as I look out my window
People I love , places I’ve been
Sometimes I feel I could go on forever
With nothing to lose and nothing to win
When I see the sunrise over the ocean
Sunrise on the sea
I’m watching the sunrise
I’m glad to be living
Sunrise , shine over me
TRYIN’ TO GET THE FEELING
***************
Doctor, my woman is comin’ back home late today
Could ya’ maybe give me something?
’cause the feelin’ is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that I’ve been
Up, down, tryin’ to get the feeling again
All around…. tryin’ to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I’ve looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there’s no tryin’ to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I’d done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin’
But whatever I’ve done I guess I just haven’t done it too good
’cause all that’s left is yearnin’
Cause I been up, down, tryin’ to get the feeling again
All around….tryin’ to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I’ve looked high, and low and everywhere I possibly can
But there’s no tryin’ to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I’ve been lookin’, I’ve been lookin’, I’ve been lookin’
I’ve been up, and down and tryin’ to get the feelin’
I’ve been up ..I’ve been down…I’ve been tryin’ to get
I’ve been tryin’..I’ve been tryin’..I’ve been tryin’
To get the feeling
I’ve been tryin’ to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I’m going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
And again…and again…and again…and again
Tryin’ to get that feeling
I been tryin’ to get the feeling again
BERMUDA TRIANGLE
***************
We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun
She says, “Hawaii’s too expensive.”
I say, “Barbados isn’t bad.”
She says, “I’d love to see Bermuda”
And I say, “Woman, are you mad!”
Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don’t go too near
But she
Doesn’t see my angle
And she thinks I’m being dumb
So Bermuda Triangle
Here we come!
Lying with my woman on
The island sand
I look up and see her with
A stranger, hand in hand
I see her sitting on his blanket
I see them going for a swim
And when I run to find my woman
I find her running after him!
Bermuda Triangle
Makes my woman disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don’t go too near
Looking
At it from my angle
Do you see why I’m so sad
Oh Bermuda Triangle
Very bad!
Lying lost and lonely on
The island sand,
When a lovely stranger says
Hello and takes my hand
And soon she’s sitting on my blanket
And then we’re going for a swim
When I say, “What about your boyfriend?”
She turns and waves goodbye to him!
Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don’t go too near
But look
At it from my angle
And you’ll see why I’m so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle
Not so bad!
Everybody
Bermuda Triangle
It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle
Don’t go too near
But look
At it from my angle
And you’ll see why I’m so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle
Not so bad!
BEYOND THE SEA
***************
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing
It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet (I know we’ll meet) beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing…
LONELY TOGETHER
***************
Your eyes are sad eyes
Mine are too
It doesn’t take too much to see
What we’ve been through
You lost your baby
Me the same
Ain’t it true how love’s a hurtin’ game
Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It’s just my heart is empty
And the night is so cold
Wouldn’t it find bein’ lonely together
Wouldn’t it be find havein’ a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I’ll tell you how she broke mind
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn’t it be sad bein’ lonely all alone
A heart that’s hurtin’s
It’s not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You’ll be just find
We can drown our achin hearts in this glass of wine
Well I hate to say
What’s done is done
It’s just two can ease the pain
Much better then one
Love
It’s such a crazy thing
All you got to give and no regrets
But love it can live again
Stay with me tonight
I’ll make it work out right
I DON’T WANT TO WALK WITHOUT YOU
***************
I don’t want to walk without you , baby
Walk without my arm about you , baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I’d take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don’t want to walk without the sunshine
Why’d you have to turn off all that sunshine
Oh baby, please come back
Or you’ll break my heart for me
Cause, I don’t want to walk with out you
No siree
I don’t want to walk with out you,baby
Walk with out my arm about you , baby
I though the day you left me behind
That I’d take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find
That I don’t want to walk with out the sunshine
Why’d you have to turn off all that sunshine
Oh baby, please come back
Or you’ll break my heart for me
Cause I don’t want to walk with out you
I don’t want to walk with out you
No siree
