WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Autumn days
Lying on a bed of leaves
Watching clouds up through the trees
You said our love was more than time
It’s colder now, the trees are bare and the nights are long
Can’t get warm since you’ve been gone
I can’t stop singing sad songs
Where do I go from here
Tell me where do I go from here
You say you’d take me through the years
So where do I go from here
Lovers plans, like falling leaves on windy days
Flutter past and they fly away
I thought I knew you all so well
And I need you now
I need to feel you in the night
I need your smile so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go
You said that you’ll take me though the years
So where do I go from here
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG
***************
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you make me feel so young
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
Cause you make me young
Give me songs to be sung
Fell like bells should be rung
And a wonderful fling should be flung
And even when I’m old and grey
I’m gonna fell the way I do today
Cause you make me feel so
You make me feel so
You make me feel
I feel so young
FREDDIE SAID
***************
Freddie’s got the dirt on
Everybody on the street
Don’t know how he does it
But it isn’t too discreet
Everybody says
It always winds up being true
He’s got somethin’ on everyone
Maybe even you!
Freddie know-oh yeah
Freddie goes-“Oh yeah,
I got the 411 in my head!”
That’s what Freddie said
One night Freddie’s goin’ home
He’s had a long, long day
When he see big Eddie
Runnin’ out the alleyway
Freddie looks at the shadow
Of a body with a shrug
There’s Slapsie layin’ deader
Then an ugly fire plug
Freddie know-oh yeah
Freddie goes-“Oh yeah!”
I’ll get the 411 to the feds!”
That’s what Freddie said
Personally i don’t think that
Was such a wise move on freddie’s part
If you see what i’m sayin’
Freddie now has the biggest news
He’s ever had
But Eddie knows that Freddie knows
And man, you knows, thats’s bad!
’cause next night
Freddie’s walking home
Just like he did before
Badda-boom! badda-bang!
Badda-bing!
He won’t be blabbin’ anymore!
See Eddie said-“oh yeah!
Freddie’s dead!-oh yeah
No more the 411 in his head
That’s ’cause Freddie’s dead
Now you know the skinny
All about the scuttlebutt
And the moral of this story is
To keep your big mouth shutt!
Cause Freddie said-“oh yeah!”
Now Freddie’s dead!-oh yeah
I’ll keep the 411 in my head!”
That’s what Freddie should’a said
STARTING AGAIN
***************
And it started again
And I ment every word
And I like what I said
And I liked what I heard
And I started to think
I could think about starting again
We where laughing again
Over memories and wine
And the years in between
Didn’t seem along time
When I smile she knew why
In awhile it was starting again
And I started to think
I could feel again
All the bad times seemed unreal
When she looked in my eyes
The cheating , the lies , the things that where wrong
Seem far behind
And I started to think
I could care again
And my fears all disapper
When she called me by name
I knew that she changed
The flaws where all gone
The saint remained
But it started again
When I asked her to stay
And she said there’s this friend who’s in town just for today
And she really felt bad
But she had to be leavin again
And she left me again
As she left me before
Still pretending she cared when we kissed at the door
But I saw in her eyes
That the lies where all starting again
Just when I’d started to fell again
When all the bad times seemed unreal
When it all seemed so right
And I tough that tonight if she said she cared
She really might
Just when my fears disapeared again
And I heard what I wanted to hear
It all started again
And I knew what that meant
It wasn’t the start
It was really the end
