WEEKEND IN NEW ENGLAND
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Last night I wave goodbye
Now its seems years
I’m back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end
And when will I hold you again
Time in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches
And you by the bay
We started a story
Who’s end must now wait
And tell me
I feel the change coming
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring
I feel my blood flow
With you I could bring out
All the love that I have
With you there’s a heaven
So earth ain’t so bad
And tell me
TRAINWRECK
***************
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
I’D REALLY LOVE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT
***************
Hello, yea it’s been awhile
Not much, how ’bout you
I’m not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for awhile
It’s been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see it really doesn’t matter much to me
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
I won’t ask for promise
So don’t have to lie
We both play that game before
Say I love you to say goodbye
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
Babe
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you
I’m not talking ’bout moving in
And I don’t want to change your life
But there’s a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you
Tonight
I HEAR HER PLAYING MUSIC
***************
I hear her playing music
In her room alone at night
She just moved in a month ago
She isn’t gonna play the game
I thought she’d smile
And come on slow
I still don’t even know her name
She must like being lonely
Got no time for anyone
But I hear her play that stereo
Right through to the rising sun
I hear her playing music
In her room alone at night
Through the day she’s so elusive
Staying safe and out of sight
If you say hello she lets it go
Cool and so polite
And I hear her playing music
In her room alone at night
Baby are you sad and lonely
Or did somebody do you wrong
Cause you know that you need only
Look my way
And they’ll play our song
And I love your nightly music
But you can’t keep playing through
Cause I’m having trouble sleeping
And when I do I dream of you
I thought I’d try
And break the freeze
And win her heart with harmony
So I answered back
And played a stack
Of my favorite CD’s
But she just doesn’t hear me
Doesn’t have a word to say
So I stay awake and turn it up
Hoping she’ll look out my way
I hear her playing music
In her room alone at night
Through the day she’s so elusive
Staying safe and out of sight
If you say hello she lets it go
Cool and so polite
And I hear her playing dave koz!
In her room alone at night
In her room alone at night
Baby are you sad and lonley
Baby won’t you tell me your name
I’m in my room alone at night
Your in your room alone at night
THEY LONG TO BE - CLOSE TO YOU
***************
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
SOME SWEET DAY
***************
All my life
I’ve been living in my fantasy
Songs of love
To help me through the night
All my life
I keep wondering where you’ll be
When, when will I finally see the light
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Where are you
Darling, how I need you now
Need your voice
I need to know your name
Where are you
Please try to get through somehow
I don’t want to be alone again
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
I’ve been shouting to the sky
And I keep on asking why
If I have to hold out much longer
I will surely die
Oh, some sweet day
I know I’ll find you
I won’t stop searching ’till I do
Oh, this I swear
If I live my whole life through
I’ll hold on ’till my dream comes true
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
