TURN THE RADIO UP
By
Barry Manilow
***************
C’mon everybody open
Up your windows
Turn on the music
Turn on the music
When I feel that this old world
Is just to hard to bear
People comin’ at me left and right
Day and night
Here’s the thing I do
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Turn reality down
There’s too much talk about blues
To much of the time
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Turn the ngative down
Turn the radio up
Everything will be find
Worryin’ don’t do no good
So throw your cares away
Come on people life’s too
Short to stay
Hey hey
Everybody now
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Play it all over town
There’s to much talk about blues
Turn the bulletins down
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Don’t ‘cha be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Don’t give in
No matter what they say
Out with the negative
You find the positive way
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Up with harmony
Pandemonium down
There’s to much talk about blues
All over this town
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Don’t you be so profound
Turn the radio up
It’ll turn you around
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
TOYLAND
***************
Toyland, toyland
Little girl and boy land
When you dwell within it
You are ever happy there!
Childhood toyland
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it’s borders
You can never return again! (not again!)
Childhood toyland (Toyland!)
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it’s borders
You can never return again!
(Toyland!) Toyland (Toyland!) Toyland!
(Toyland!) Toyland!
COULD IT BE MAGIC
***************
Spirit move me
every time I”m near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Sweet Melissa,
angel of my life time,
Answer to all answers I can find
Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
Lady take me
hight upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you,
build my world around you,
Never leave you till my life is done
Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
and baby I want you,
now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
now could it be magic
Come, come on,come on
come oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
Could it be magic
come, come on,come on,come,oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
Could it be magic
come, come on,come on,come,oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,now oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
***************
Autumn days
Lying on a bed of leaves
Watching clouds up through the trees
You said our love was more than time
It’s colder now, the trees are bare and the nights are long
Can’t get warm since you’ve been gone
I can’t stop singing sad songs
Where do I go from here
Tell me where do I go from here
You say you’d take me through the years
So where do I go from here
Lovers plans, like falling leaves on windy days
Flutter past and they fly away
I thought I knew you all so well
And I need you now
I need to feel you in the night
I need your smile so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go
You said that you’ll take me though the years
So where do I go from here
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
I MISS YOU
***************
When I wake up everyday
I miss you
And it never goes away
I miss you
People smile and while
I take and even laugh
I’m not even half the man they knew
Without you
When I’m in our bed each night
And I turn out the light
Oh how I miss you
Little things reminding me about you
Who will I annoy again, if not you?
In my silent room sometimes
I’ll close my eyes
And I whisper sweet good-byes
You’ll never hear
Esther dear…..
Fifty years, Ester and Joe
Tell me how could this be so?
Oh how I miss you
Was I there
When you needed me to be there?
Could you see
There wasn’t one day
When you weren’t my best girl?
Though we both drove each other crazy
I love all the love you gave me
And you where all that mattered
In my world
Everyday I love you more
And miss you
And I wish you knew
That through the darkest night
You are still the light
That helps me find my way
And I pray
One day we will meet again
And all this emptiness will end
And I will kiss you
’till that day
Though we’re apart
I’ll hold you close
Here in my heart
But God
I miss you
