WE STILL HAVE TIME
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Before the laughter ended
You were a part of me
Why did I ever let the distance grow
When there is still so much of you
I need to know
But we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
I don’t have all the answers
I don’t know where we’d start
I don’t know how
We’d try to find a way
I only know
That now I need to hear you say
That we still have time
Time to try
Yes, we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all
We’ve got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
We all have time
Yes, we still have time
To have it all
THE TWELFTH OF NEVER
***************
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I’ll love you,
I’ll tell you true Until the Twelfth of Never,
I’ll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I’ll love you ’til the bluebells forget to bloom
I’ll love you ’til the clover has lost its perfume
I’ll love you ’til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time
MY FAVORITE THINGS
***************
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudeles
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
A NICE BOY LIKE ME
***************
Walkin’ around
Uptight
And lookin’ for noise
Frantic on a Friday night
Just one of the boys
Phony defenses, they fall in my way
A case of hot fire turnin’ to stone
Just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
Meetin’ Saturday mornin’ alone
Won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Just tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours?
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
Lost in the crowd
Alone
And drinkin’ my third
I’m hungry for company, but I can’t think of the words
Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplaced, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight!
Wontcha’ tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’ Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours?
Dozin’ over rolls of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
Watchin’ the girls, my heart in my hands
What a misplased, pitiful sight?
Just a stiff upper lip who’ll be knowin’ tomorrow
What he shoulda been sayin’ tonight
And tell me what’s a nice boy like me
Doin’ in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya’
Holy Moses
Lookin’ so sad
Now won’t you tell me what’s a nice kid like me
Doin’ by the dance floor after hours
Dozin’ over roll of whiskey sours
Feelin’ so bad
I’m feelin’ so bad for me
FOOLS GET LUCKY
***************
When I see you lying there
Like a living answered prayer
There are no words
For what I feel for you
My life was once a high trapeze
You pulled me down
And gave me peace
That’s something no one else
Could ever do
And on nights like tonight
It scares me recalling
How close I came to falling
But fools get lucky
Fortune must like me
When people ask where you came from
I tell them that
Fools get lucky
Destiny likes me
It must be one of nature’s rules
Love like yours
Should save the fools like me
When I see the good times shine
On this wayward life of mine
I tell the world
It’s all because of you
Like me
Like me
