WEEKEND IN NEW ENGLAND (ACOUSTIC)
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
BIG FUN
***************
The night is glamorous
The weekend is ahead of us
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
Well I can hardly wait
The skyline shines like heaven’s gate
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
Here comes Big Fun
I’m steppin’ out with a special one
Here comes Big Fun
Got through the week somehow
We’ll kiss like this
Catch up on all the romance we missed
Here comes Big Fun
We’re gonna have it now
The workday’s dead and gone
The girls are putting make-up on
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
Around the neighborhood
We concentrate on looking good
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
And we’re ready for it honey
Big Fun
Here comes Big Fun
I’m steppin’ out with a special one
Here comes Big Fun
Got through the week somehow
We’ll kiss like this
Catch up on all the romance we missed
Here comes Big Fun
We’re gonna have it now
A thundering dance beat
Spills into the big street
This is Big Fun
The crowds are peaking
And horns are beeping
This is Big Fun
We run through the door
Stampede the dance floor
This is Big Fun
We’re flying non-stop
We’ll do it ’til we drop
This is Big Fun
Here comes Big Fun
I’m steppin’ out with a special one
Here comes Big Fun
Got through the week somehow
We’ll kiss like this
Catch up on all the romance we missed
Here comes Big Fun
We’re gonna have it now
Here comes big fun
I’m steppin out
I’m with my baby
Where gonna have big fun tonight
Where gonna kisssssssssssssss like this
Where gonna have big fun tonight
ANGEL EYES
***************
Try to think that love’s not around
Still it’s uncomfortably near
My old heart ain’t gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain’t here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love’s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
But pardon me I got to run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
I gotta find who’s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Pardon me I got to run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
See I gotta find who’s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Excuse me while I disappear
BIG CITY BLUES
***************
Much of my life has been spiced with romance
Too many bedrooms I’ve slept in by chance
Drownin’ out my sorrow
Longin’ for tomorrow
Caught up in the big city blues
Rain pourin’ down from a cold winter sky
Don’t wanna smile and I’m too sad to cry
Clouds hangin’ above me
No one there to love me
Guess it’s just the big city blues
Someday I’ll find me the dream that I’m after
I’ll know her with only a glance
She’ll make me smile and she’ll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I’ll hold her near and I’ll know that she’s mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
Someday I’ll find me the dream that I’m after
I’ll know her with only a glance
She’ll make me smile and she’ll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I’ll hold her near and I’ll know that she’s mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city
Good bye to the big city blues
YOU BEGIN AGAIN
***************
Sometimes it’s hard to believe
How simple life can be
Just when you think
You’ll never reach the end
You’re finally round the bend and see
There’s no need to cry anymore
Life’s better than before
Yesterday fades away into the past
The pain you thought would last
Is gone
And you begin again
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you begin again
Even though you’re heart is breaking
In time, the sun will shine
And you’ll begin again
You’ll begin again
Life’s bittersweet mystery
Never tells what will be
You can create your own reality
And make your dreams come true
It’s really up to you
If you begin again
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you begin again
Even though your heart is breaking
In time, the sun will shine
And you’ll begin again
You’ll begin again
When you begin again
IT’S ALL BEHIND US NOW
***************
I spent my whole life thinking
Oh, that there could not be
Anyone in this world
Who’d show me they care
Who’d really be there to love me
Now you’re holding me
And I see in your eyes
That you been lonely too baby
We’ve been all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it’s all behind us now
Everytime I looked for love
It looked the other way
Now love has turned around
It’s smiling at me
Now someone loves me
All the nights in the moonlight
With no one to hold
Take a good look at us baby
We’ve been all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well it’s all behind us
Every dream is coming true
Now that I’m holding you near
Happiness without a end
I feel alive again
Suddenly I can not even remember when
We were all alone on our own for so long
But it’s all behind us
The words no one heard when we sang our sad song
Well, it’s all behind us now
It’s all behind us now
