UNCHAINED MELODY
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the waiting arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
To the open arms, wait for me
My love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your kiss
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love, to me
THE LAST DUET
***************
You creep
Into my heart
And make my heart burn
You sneak
Into my mind
And make my head ache
There are things I long to tell you
You’re much too blonde
You snore
Look
It’s time to face the music
Bye, Bye!
Don’t slam the door
And I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want
No, I don’t want your flowers anymore
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do with you
You’re not the one that I want
Ooh, ooh ooh
Tood-le-oo (honey)
Don’t go breakin’ my back
Don’t call me
I’ll call you
Back together
Reunited
Should feel so good
They say
So I hope there’s no hard feelings
Don’t go ‘way mad
Just go ‘way
’cause
Enough
Is enough
Is enough
Is enough
Too much too little too late
Tonight
Tonight
With you I’m bored again!
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do with you
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do
I’ll ever do
I’ll never never never never never do
With you
IT’S A LONG WAY UP
***************
Once you find what matters in your life
Keep on pushing through the darkness
Till you see the light
You’re gonna find it
You’re no longer behind it
Once you learn what you’ve been doin’ wrong
You can make the change
You need to make the carry on
Now and forever
The sooner the better, just remember now….
It’s a long way up
When you’re coming from nowhere
It’s a long way up
When you’re coming from nowhere
You gotta fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
’cause it’s a long way up
You’ve been down before that’s okay
You can rest assured
That every dog will have his day
And life is a jungle
But you ain’t gonna crumble, remember now…
Don’t give up the dream
Hey don’t you know it’s dark before the dawn
When you think you just can’t take it
That’s when you’ll make it
You gotta to fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
’cause it’s a long way up
You gotta to fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM
***************
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
BLUER THAN BLUE
***************
After you go
I can catch upon my reading
After you go
I’ll have a lot mroe time for sleeping
And when you’re gone
It looks like things are going to be a lot easier
Life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad
But I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without is going to be
Bluer than blue
After you go
I’ll have a lot more room in my closet
After you go
I’ll stay out all night if I feel like it
And when you’re gone
I could run through the house screaming
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad
But I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without is going to be
Bluer than blue
I don’t have to miss no t.v. shows
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone
But the nights will sure be colder
And I’m bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You’re the only life this empty room has ever had
Life without you is going to be
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
SUNDAY FATHER
***************
Hand in his hand though the park
All afternoon
A fine day to fly balloons or tell him a story
Hand in his hand to wonder
Till day is done
Sunday father and son
Sundays are there’s to explore
Alone by law
One day to keep the two from turning to strangers
One day to know the answers
Be firm, be fun
Sunday father and son
The father weaves though the weekend streets
Sunday done, monday comin’ on
He leaves the child by a modest home
That they share no more
With the woman who waits indoors
Till she knows he’s gone
Where are the words or the games
A place to go
Someway to let him know you want to be with him
Somehow it’s always ending
Just half begun
Sunday father and son
