TRAINWRECK
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Hey there
Trainwreck
Look in the mirror
Could it be clearer
End of the line
Way off the rails
Next door to nowhere
Lamp burnin’ low where
The sun used to shine
Wake up
Trainwreck
No navigator
Sooner or later
All up to you
Somewhere out there
Comin’ on morning
Sun without warning
Day burnin’ through
Maybe I played too hard
Maybe I ran too fast
Maybe I was their hero
That don’t last
Flameout
Trainwreck
Hey, what’s past is past
Come on
Trainwreck
Get it together
Life goes on whether
You don’t or you do
Back on the track
Startin’ to move now
Something to prove now
They say you’re through
Maybe I played too hard
Maybe I ran too fast
Maybe I was their hero
That don’t last
Flameout
Trainwreck
Hey, what’s past is past
IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
***************
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you “Be of good cheer”
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It’s the hap -happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap – happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s The Most Wonderful Time
It’s The Most Wonderful Time
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
***************
If I could make a wish
I think I pass
Can’t think of any thing I need
No cigarettes,no sleep
No light,no sound
Nothing to real
Making love with you
Has made me peaceful
Warm,and tired
What more could I ask
Their nothing left to be desire
Sometimes, all I need is the
Air that I breath
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came apond me
And it leaves me weak
Sleep silent angel
Go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is this
Air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
JUMP SHOUT BOOGIE
***************
Well not to long ago in 1944
When every mothers son was goin’ off to war
They had to lift there spirits high
For Uncle Sam ,mother hood and apple pie
Instead of spendin’ money that they didn’t have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to here the kind of jazz
You hear in funky hunky tonks
It made you wanna
Jump! shout! knock your self out
The bogie-wogie beat is what I’m talkin’ about
If you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
To the bogie-wogie music the piano man was playin’
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who’s going to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin’ and the pluckin’ drove ’em off the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz, buzzed they joined in
So everybody partied ’till the cows came home
’cause that’s what boggie’s for
And everynight that dump will jump
And keepem’ coming back for more
Because they make you wanna….
It made you wanna jump, shout
Who wanna jump! shout
You wanna jump! shout
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin’
You could jump! shout! knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcharoonie if your felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of piano
Shake it yes, yes, yes
IF
***************
If I were a swan, I’d be gone.
If I were a train, I’d be late.
And if I were a good man, I’d talk with you more often than I do.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don’t put your wires in my brain.
If I were the moon, I’d be cool.
If I were a book, I would bend.
If I were a good man, I’d understand the spaces between friends.
If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I’d be home and dry.
And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?
If I were a swan, I’d be gone.
If I were a train, I’d be late again.
If I were a good man, I’d talk to you more often than I do.
WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
***************
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I’ll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I’ll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
When I fall in love with you.
