WE’VE GOT TONIGHT
By
Barry Manilow
***************
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one’ll care
Look at the stars
So far away
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
Deep in my soul
I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes
Fading away
I’ve long for love
Like everyone else does
But I may stop searching
After today
So there it is, girl
I’ve said it all now
And here we are
What do you say
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let’s make it last
Let’s find away
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
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
LUCK BE A LADY
***************
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you ever been a lady
To begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the other way you treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair it isn’t nice
A lady doesn’t wonder all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
A lady wouldn’t flirt with strangers
She have a heart
She have a soul
A lady wouldn’t make little snake eyes at me
When I bet my life on this roll
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Tonight, ha

SEE THE SHOW AGAIN
***************
They tell me I’m the man of the hour
Champange all around
It’s been so long sence I been alone
Sometimes it gets me down
And you your pretty as a picture
And I don’t even know you name
But I sure would like to meet you
Why don’t you see the show again
I’ve been playing these love songs for ever
Some times the words don’t make much sinces
So I’m living it all though the music
Even last nights complaments
I’ve been playing for thousands of people
Some times it just never ends
But the look in your eyes feels so good to me
Why don’t you see the show again
God knows there not much I can say
I don’t have time for love in my life
But if I ever thought about changing my mind
It might be with you tonight
I’ve been on the road for so many weeks now
And I’m losing track of time
Trying to make everyone happy
I wonder whats really mine
And you your pretty as as picture
But I don’t even know your name
I sure would like to meet you some time
Why don’t you see the show agian
Why don’t you see the show again
See it only baby
See the show,see the show again
Maybe we can get to know each other better some time
JUMP SHOUT BOOGIE
***************
Well not to long ago in 1944
When every mothers son was goin’ off to war
They had to lift there spirits high
For Uncle Sam ,mother hood and apple pie
Instead of spendin’ money that they didn’t have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to here the kind of jazz
You hear in funky hunky tonks
It made you wanna
Jump! shout! knock your self out
The bogie-wogie beat is what I’m talkin’ about
If you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
To the bogie-wogie music the piano man was playin’
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who’s going to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin’ and the pluckin’ drove ’em off the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz, buzzed they joined in
So everybody partied ’till the cows came home
’cause that’s what boggie’s for
And everynight that dump will jump
And keepem’ coming back for more
Because they make you wanna….
It made you wanna jump, shout
Who wanna jump! shout
You wanna jump! shout
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin’
You could jump! shout! knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcharoonie if your felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of piano
Shake it yes, yes, yes
