THEY DANCE!
By
Barry Manilow
***************
During the day
She’s a full time typist
At the computer
And on the phone
During the day
He’s a auto-mecnhanic
Punchin’ a time clock
And livin’ alone
But at night
In the dark
When the sun goes down
Yes at night
Night is when they
Go to town!
And they dance
And she fells like
Ginger Rogers
They dance!
He’s got the flair
Of Fred Astaire
They dance!
As they glide
Around the ballroom
They dance!
And the world
Belongs to them
When they dance!
Nobody knows that
She has a secret
None of her family
Would ever connect
All of his friends think
He’s shy and quiet
Not in the world would
They ever suspect
That at night
In the dark
When the sun goes down
Yes at night
Night is when they
Go to town
And they dance!
He’s as cool as
John Travolta!
They dance!
She’s as hot as Janet J.!
They dance!
As they glide
Around the ballroom
They dance!
They forget about the day
When they dance!
And they dance!
He’s Antonio Banderas
They dance!
She’s Ann Miller
On the screen!
They dance!
Now the crowd
Is cheering louder
They dance!
And the night
Is like a dream
When they dance!
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE
***************
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
Oooh, but just for every, every, everyone
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is Love
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is love….
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
***************
Have your self a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yule tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden day of yours
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shinning star
Upond the highest bow
And have your self a merry little christmas now
The’ll be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the faiths allow
Hang a shinning star
Upond the highest bow
And have your self a merry little christmas now
A merry little christmas now

SHE’S A STAR
***************
It really doesn’t matter if she suffered all she claims
You know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame
And feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs
A goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs
She’s a star
No one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she’d do it
She’s a star
They’re hangin’ on the music as it fills the concert hall
And she’s teasin’ them with moments, when you think she’ll give it all
But she’s holdin’ back the total, cause that’s how she works her spell
Yeah, she likes to leave ’em hungry, yeah she loves to hear ’em yell
She’s a star
No one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she’d do it
She’s a star
Baby you’re a star
And finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
She’s left with no companions, only enemies and slaves
She’s scared again the show was slow, she felt it fall behind
Tomorrow night’s already raising riot in her mind
But she’s a star no one can tell her anymore
She’ll ride as far
As the road can go
And what it costs, she oughta know
She said she do it
She’s a star
She’s a star
She’s a star
She’s a star
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
