WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
Oooh, but just for every, every, everyone
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is Love
(What the world needs now)
Whoooo
(Is love sweet love)
Is love….
UNCHAINED MELODY
***************
Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the waiting arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
To the open arms, wait for me
My love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your kiss
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love, to me
LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT
***************
There you are
Looking just the same as you did last time I touched you
And here I am
Close to getting tangled up in side the thought of you
Do you love him
As much as I love her
And will that love be strong
When old feelings start to stir
Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there everywhere
And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Loves so strange
Playing hide and seek with hearts and always hurting
And we’re the fools
Standing close enough to touch those burning memories
And if I hold you
For the sake of all those times
Love made us lose our minds
Could I ever let you go
Woh no we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there,everywhere
And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Ohhhhh we made it
Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you where there, everywhere
And all I could taste is love the way we made it
Looks like we made it
Woh babe we made it
WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN
***************
You were sweet sixteen, you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o’er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye,
And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dreamt of what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o’er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
I HAVEN’T CHANGED THE ROOM
***************
Here is the room that we shared
The room that you cared for
So I haven’t changed the room
How did the years slip away
I could swear you’re still there
For I haven’t changed the room
Now that you’re gone
What am I to do
So many fantasies
Plans that we made
That will never come true
And I haven’t changed all that much
And I’m sure you’d be proud of
The way that I came through
So if you happen to be passin’ by
To make sure that you recognize it
I haven’t changed the room
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
