THERE’S A KIND OF HUSH (ALL OVER THE WORLD)
By
Barry Manilow
***************
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
SWING STREET
***************
It’s raining down sorrow
And nothing bad news
You know I’ve had it up to here living with these blues
But I won’t let it get me down
It’s not the only game in town
In my mind, I’m goin’ to Swing Street
I’m a dreamer on a rough road
And I need to hear the music once again
When there’s nothing but bad news,
I’ve got a way to beat the blues
I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street
You can dance there, there’s a chance there
Of finding a little romance there
You don’t know who you’ll meet
When you’re down on Swing Street
Lose your blues in a minute
Cop a groove and you’re in it
I’m tellin’ you once, I’m tellin’ you twice
Better take my advice
If you’re weepin’ and you’re wailin’
I’ve got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin,
Count to four and grab my hand say I’ll meet
You by the band
You and I , we’re goin’ to Swing Street
Give yourself to the rhythm
And every wrong is forgiven
You may even lose the bluest of blues
Get back on your feet
When your best friends turn to strangers
And one more workin’ day don’t seem worth
All the changes
Just reach out and take my hand and I’ll meet
You by the band
You and I, we’re goin’ to Swing Street
Yes you and I, we’re going to go to Swing Street
IT’S ALL IN THE GAME
***************
Many a tear has to fall
But it’s all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future’s looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won’t call
But it’s all in the game
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
Soon he’ll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
Then he’ll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly away
HEART OF STEEL
***************
I used to be such a soft touch
I gave too much
Love always came down losing Well the news is
I’m not for using
You can’t break this heart of steel
You won’t see me down on my knees again
You can’t break this heart of steel
Lovin’ you gave me a heart of steel
Knock on my door if you want to
Some night I might not want you
You taught me all the devices
Now my prices are the highest
You can’t break this heart of steel
You won’t see me down on my knees again
You can’t break this heart of steel
Lovin’ you gave me a heart of steel
You could have had me for all time
Now the pleasure I’m having is all mine
You can’t break this heart of steel
You won’t see me down on my knees again
You can’t break this heart of steel
Lovin’ you gave me a heart of steel
You can’t break this heart of steel
You won’t see me down on my knees again
You can’t break this heart of steel
Lovin’ you gave me a heart of steel
You can’t break this heart of steel
You won’t see me down on my knees again
You can’t break this heart of steel
Lovin’ you gave me a heart of steel

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
