THE LOOK OF LOVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so
ONLY IN CHICAGO
***************
I went back
Yes, I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
I went back
Yes, I went back to see just
How we could feel so good
In Chicago
We seemed to have it all
It was real
It was love
I went back
And I sat by the lake
And looked at the stars
And oh I swear
I remember how much we laughed
And I loved you so
In Chicago
I know we had it all
It was real
It was love
Only in Chicago
Love is in the air
In Chicago
Our Chicago
There’s a magic there
In Chicago
Our Chicago
Baby, you and I
We tried to take it with us
But you can’t go back
’cause I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
Now I see
That it wasn’t just you
It wasn’t just me
It was Chicago
But I’m still in love with you
Only you
Only you
But only in Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Chicago
Only in Chicago
Love is in the air
In Chicago
There’s a magic there
In Chicago
Our Chicago
Baby, you and I
We tried to take it with us
But you can’t go back
’cause I went back to find out
What we did wrong and
Now I see
That it wasn’t just you
It wasn’t just me
It was Chicago
But I’m still in love with you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you
But only in Chicago,Chicago
Only in Chicago,Chicago
Only in Chicago,Chicago
AIN’T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING
***************
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I’ve got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me
When I call your name
I realize it’s just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you’re not here
But they don’t move me and they don’t groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
I play my game of fantasy
And I pretend that I’m not in reality
I need shelter
Of your arms to comfort me
No other sound
Is quite the same as your name
No touch can do quite as much
To make me feel better
So let’s stay together
I’ve got the memories to look back on
And though they help me when you’re gone
I’m well aware
But nothing can take the place of your being there
So glad we’ve got the real thing, baby
So glad we’ve got the real thing
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
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
WHEN I WANTED YOU
***************
Tho’ we’re going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
‘Cause I didn’t mean that much to you
Work it out, don’t lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
‘Cause you’ve got the heart to be secure
When I wanted you, I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I’ve got to turn my back on you
After all that we’ve been through
Leavin’ you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don’t feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
‘Cause you think a lot when you’re on your own
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned your back on me
And now I’m turnin’ mine on you
Now you’re on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can’t bring myself to say I’m over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I’m turnin’ mine on you
When I wanted you
GOODBYE MY LOVE
***************
You look away from me again
There’s really nothing to explain
Feel it in your kiss
I guess this is good-bye my love
The way I feel don’t have a name
The days and nights so filled with pain
Thought that I would stay
But I gotta say good-bye my love
You used to laugh and say
If you play, play for gold
I didn’t know that I would lose my heart
And soul
I didn’t know
I won’t regret the time we had
I’ll think of you and I’ll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love
I won’t regret the time we had
I’ll think of you and I’ll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love
Good-bye my love
Good-bye my love
