WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEARS EVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
When the bells all ring
And the horns all blow
And the coubles we know
Are fondly kissing
Will I be with you
Or will I be amoung the missing
Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I’d ask you just the same.
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night?
Welcoming in the New Year… New Year’s eve
Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose …
Out of the thousand invitations you’ll received ?
But in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance…
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s Eve?
Out of the thousand invitations you’ll received ?
Oh, but in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance…
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s Eve?
What are you doing New Year’s Eve
BORDER TRAIN
***************
Got nobody left to listen to
Got no promises to keep
Something’s gotta be out there
Fine a world for me out there
No more livin’ half asleep
There’s an island in the misty night
Little platform by the track
I dreamed I saw a light for me
A face, a place so right for me
That I’d never think of lookin’ back
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
City jumps up like a circus
Neon flutters out of sight
The town itself is traveling
America unraveling
And swallowed in the hungry night
Through the shadowland
Like a siver band
Got no kind of plan
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
There’ll come a time
With no goodbyes
When I’ll simply grab
That border train
And at journey’s end
They will all be real
My lovers and friends
And I swear to God
There’s time for me
And I’ll live the life I waited for!
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Wooo oooo ooo oooo
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
I ride the border train
Somewhere new to be
Please light the way for me
Moon and memories
I ride the border train
WHERE DO I BEGIN? (THEME FROM LOVE STORY)
***************
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They’ll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I’m never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She’s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
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
ONCE AND FOR ALL
***************
You’re a girl
After my own heart
You know your own mind
We are a similar kind
Separate yet intertwined
We speak with a single voice
But now we must make a choice
Whether to fall in love
Once and for all
Do you really want to have someone for good
Would you stay in love forever if you could
Do you want a friend who’s always standing by
When your back’s against the wall
Once and for all
We’re a pair
Cut from the same cloth
Deep in our own soul
Alone and not perfectly whole
But seemingly in control
Afraid not knowing just where we are
But knowing we’ve come so far
So far that we just might make it
Once and for all
Search your heart and then
I want you to decide
Is simple love enough to keep you by my side
Can we stay together through the thick and thin
Through troubles big and small
Once and for all
Once and for all
Once and for all
Do you really want to have someone for good
Would you stay in love forever if you could
Do you want a friend who’s always standing by
When your back’s against the wall
Once and for all
Once and for all
Once and for all
I’VE GOT MY LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM
***************
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
I can’t remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Out with the fire off with the sweater
I got a heater coultn’t be better will be
So confee all through the storm
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
