THE TWO OF US
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Now, we’re happy to sit, day after day
The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There’s a reason to stay together
Now, we’re happy to sit, night after night
The two of us
Conviced that it’s right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together
Afraid we’d always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care
And now, it’s almost enough, year after year
The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives together
TEACH ME TONIGHT
***************
Did you say that I’ve got a lot to learn
Well don’t think I’m trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky’s a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I’ll use that star to write “I love you”
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn’t very clear my love
Teachers shouldn’t stand so near my love
Graduation’s almost here my love
You’d better teach me tonight
I’ve played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I’ve also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there’s no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You’d better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me… come on and teach me… teach me tonight
SUNRISE
***************
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
A GIFT OF LOVE
***************
Here in this sighlent night
Now all the world is right
As if we’sundenley been giving
A gift of love
A gift of love
Warm as the fire glow
Soft as the falling snow
A pre….. micael we live in
This wonder of a gift of love
Night falls
At this coldest time of the year
Love calls
Here where I love you so
Now as our blessings grow
We shear the greatest gift we’ll ever know
A gift of love
A gift of love
ARTHUR’S THEME (THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO)
***************
Once in your life you will find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You’re closing down the town
Wake up and it’s still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wonderin’ to yourself
Hey, what have I found
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy
But it’s true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master’s toys
And deep in his heart he’s just
He’s just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He’s showing himself a pretty good time
He’s laughing about the way
They want him to be
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy
But it’s true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy
But it’s true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love…
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU
***************
You made me love you
I didn’t wanna do it
I didn’t wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad
You made me cry for
I didn’t wanna tell you
I didn’t wanna tell you
I want some love that’s true
Yes, I do, ‘deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you’ve got the brand of kisses
That I’d die for
You know you made me love you
You made me cry for
I didn’t wanna tell you
I didn’t wanna tell you
I want some love that’s true
Yes, I do, ‘deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you’ve got the brand of kisses
That I’d die for
You know you made me love you
