WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Where have you gone
It’s been so long
Winter’s turn in to spring
And your still not with me
So far away , sweet yesterday
Love came round but couldn’t stay
Where have you gone
Do you still care
Rainy April regrets
All this pain and sorrow
Let me find , some other kind
Some sweet love, that’s right this time
Friends dear hearts all around me
But deep in my soul I’m cold as stone
Once true love found me
Now I’m so alone
Where have you gone
Where are you now
It’s so hard to forget
All those magic moments
Still sing our song
Still holding on to love
Where have you gone
Friends dear hearts all around me
But deep in my soul I’m cold as stone
Once true love found me
Now I’m so alone
Where have you gone
Where are you now
It’s so hard to forget
All those magic moments
I still sing our song
Still holding on to love
Where have you gone
NEW YORK CITY RHYTHM
***************
When my heart is torn apart
By love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city’s lights
And things don’t seem so bad
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I loss my blues when the New York City Rhythm fills my soul
It’s the New York City Rhythm runnin’ thru my life
The poundin’ beat of the city’s streets
That keep my dreams alive
I’m lost, I’m found
I’m up, I’m down
But somehow I survive
It’s got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life
It’s got to be the New York City Rhtym in my life
In my life
When I’m out for love or sin
Oh it’s good to be in town
In the funky dives, on the old West Side
There’s always something goin’ down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger’s always there
But when I hit Broadway and it’s time to play
And you know that I don’t care
Cause it’s the New York City rhythm runnin thru my life
The poundin’ beat of the city’s streets
That keeps my dreams alive
I’m lost, I’m found
I’m up ,I’m down
But some how I survive
It’s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh It’s got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to,got to,got to be
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo makes me high
Its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to, got to, got to be
The city in my life
ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL
***************
All, or nothing at all
Half a love, never appeal to me
If your heart never could heal to me
Then I rather have nothing at all
All, or nothing at all
If it’s love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry for
Something that might have been
No I rather have nothing at all
So please don’t bring your lips
So close to my cheek
So don’t smile or I’ll be lost
Beyone recall
The kiss in your eyes
The touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell
Of your call
I would be caught in the undertoe
So you’ll see
I’ve got to say no no
All or nothing at all
All or nothing at all
15 MINUTES
***************
Can’t call it a life
Knowing what I got inside me
Working a job
That any poor slob could fill
Watching the fireworks fly up
Out of some fairground
Over the hill
Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
A nothing name
That no one ever knew
Fifteen minutes
Light the fuse
I’ll fly my way to glory
Comin’ through
Comin’ through
Fifteen minutes
That’s me within a blaze of glory
Fifteen minutes
A shooting star
Among the precious few
Fifteen minutes
Here I come
I’ll be the leading story
Comin’ through
Comin’ through
Comin’ through
There’s somebody else
Taking a turn on the spotlight
Feeling that love
And spinning above the clouds
Here I am just a nobody
Longing for hot light
Lost in the crowd
Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
A song so low
That no one ever heard
Fifteen minutes
Make a deal
I’d sell my guts for glory
Say the word
Say the word
Say the word
Just gimme my shot
Riding the world like a rocket
Painting the sky
For all of those eyes below
Wouldn’t I fly the farthest
Couldn’t you clock it
Wouldn’t I go?
Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
Break the mold
And get me up to speed
Fifteen minutes
Light the fuse
And I’ll lift off to glory
All I need
All I need
Fifteen minutes
That’s me within a blaze of glory
Fifteen minutes
I’d sell my soul
In order to succeed
Fifteen minutes
They’ll be tellin’
My amazing story
All I need
All I need
All I need
All I need
Fifteen minutes
Give me fifteen minutes
Give me fifteen minutes
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
***************
(January to December)
(We’ll have moments to remember)
The New Year’s Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
(The drive in movie where we’d go)
(And somehow never watched the show)
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
IT’S A MIRACLE
***************
You wouldn’t believe where I’ve been
The city and towns I been in
From Boston to Denver
And every town in between
The people they all look the same
Only the names have been changed
But now that I’m home again
I’ll tell you what I believe
It’s a miracle
A true blue spectacle
A miracle come true
We’re together ,baby-I was goin’ crazy
’till the miracle
Came through
Now you here,and my arms are around you
And baby, there’ll be
Dancin in the streets
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you
I never knew you look so good
I never knew any one could
I must have been crazy
To ever had gone away
I almost for got what it’s like
Holdin’ you near me at night
But now that I’m home again
You know that I’m home to stay
Cause’ its a miracle
A true blue spectacle
A miracle come true
We’re together baby-I was goin crazy
’till the miracle came through
Now you here and I’m feelin so good
And baby there’ll be
Dancin in the streets
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you
Now you here and my arm’s are around you
And baby the’ll be dancing in the street
There’s going to be dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
Dancin, dancin, dancin, dancin
Dancin in the street
Dancin, dancin, dancin in the street
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you
Hey the miracle is you
The miracle is you
