WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Oh what a time
What a warm an wonderous time
So sweet a shinning moment in the sun
Oh what a time
Was there ever such a time
Then suddenly it’s done
The moment passes
Where, where does the time go
Must we let it end
Where, where does the time go
Gone to soon my friend
And where, where go the echo’s
Of our laughte ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
Must we let it end
And where, where go the echo’s
Of our laugther ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
I will see you there
LOOK TO THE RAINBOW
***************
On the day I was born
Set me father said he
I’ve got an elegent legacy waiting for me
It’s a rhyme for your lips
It’s a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows our dream
It was a sumtuous gift
To beguife to a child
Or the lore of that song kept her feet running wild
For you never grow old
And you never stand still
With whipper will singing beyond the next hill
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Strike one me heart and I roam the world free
To the east with a lark
To the west with the sea
And I searched all the Earth
And I scanned all the sky
But I found it at last
In my own true love’s eyes
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows the dream
Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
Who follows the dream
SAILING
***************
It’s not far down to paradise
At least it’s not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It’s not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I’ve always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I’m sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won’t you believe me
It’s not far back to sanity
At least it’s not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE - HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
***************
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are trav’lin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee,
The traffic is teriffic!
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home,sweet home
SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT
***************
Time, you found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I’ll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
You’ll sleep when the mornin’ comes
And I’ll lie and watch you sleepin’
And you’ll smile when you dream about the night
Like it’s a secret you’ve been keepin’
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night!!
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
SUMMER OF ’78
***************
It was one of those summer’s
Lasting forever
Making the winter wait
A summer of music and passion
The summer of ’78
You appeared like the summer
Sudden and perfect
And not a day too late
I swear there was music when I found you
That summer of ’78
It seem we floated through the days
And nights were always filled with stars
And it seemed every song they played on the radio
Was ours
It was one of those summer’s
Only for lovers
Touched by the hand of faith
And now when the winter’s are long
I remember the summer of ’78
