WINDY
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy
And Windy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
And Windy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy
STARS IN THE NIGHT
***************
Look
Look at the stars
How brilliant they are
How can they be shining now
When hope seems so far?
Look
Look how they shine
These cruelest of stars
What promise inspires them?
What faith is it fires them?
Darkness grows
The world turns cold
And still there glows the light
Heaven knows
What hope they hold tonight
Look
Look how they tease
These stars in the night
The darker the night becomes
The brighter their light becomes
Chill winds wail
The tempest brews
And clouds assail the sky
Through the veil
The stars refuse to die!
In this world
Of darkest night
Where hope is hurled away
There they are
And still there’s light
Oh so far
But will they…?
Dare they lift our hearts
As we lift our eyes
Are we fools to see
The hope that’s gleaming in the skies?
Look!
There’s the light!
Stars in the night!
BIG CITY BLUES
***************
Much of my life has been spiced with romance
Too many bedrooms I’ve slept in by chance
Drownin’ out my sorrow
Longin’ for tomorrow
Caught up in the big city blues
Rain pourin’ down from a cold winter sky
Don’t wanna smile and I’m too sad to cry
Clouds hangin’ above me
No one there to love me
Guess it’s just the big city blues
Someday I’ll find me the dream that I’m after
I’ll know her with only a glance
She’ll make me smile and she’ll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I’ll hold her near and I’ll know that she’s mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
Someday I’ll find me the dream that I’m after
I’ll know her with only a glance
She’ll make me smile and she’ll fill me with
Laughter
And our love will be like a dance
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I’ll hold her near and I’ll know that she’s mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city blues
Good bye to the big city
Good bye to the big city blues
I JUST WANT TO BE THE ONE IN YOUR LIFE
***************
Some people shoot for the stars
Dream upon dream
They long to go far
Chasing their rainbow so high
Wish upon wish
They’ll reach for the sky
But I got one little dream
And baby that’s all I want
Girl it’s up to you
You can make my dreams come true
I just want to be the one in your life
For ever, for always
I just want to be the one in your life
For ever , for always
I don’t need cheers from the crowd
To make me feel big
To make me feel proud
Darlin just a little touch of your hand
Is all that I need
To feel like a man
And I keep hoping each day
I’ll woun’t dream my life away
Girl you hold the key
To make my dream a reality
ANYONE CAN DO THE HEARTBREAK
***************
Take another step
Tell another lie
Hide another tear
In the corner of your eye
I don’t understand
What kind of game is this we’re playing
Dancin’ in the dark
Shadow’s in the night
Slowly going wrong
Trying to make it right
The silence is so loud
I can’t hear the words we’re saying
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Everybody knows the dance
Oh it’s so easy to do
You tear a dream in two
To kill a true romance
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Anyone can make love end
It’s gonna take a little pain
Some fire and some rain
To bring it back again
I know you’re afraid
Baby so am I
You think you’re going to fall
All you want to do is fly
We’re up against the wall
And love is the chance we’re taking
So baby look into my heart
Tell me can’t you see
I belong with you
You belong with me
When I hold you in my arms
We can hear the music playing
And it’s one step forward
And two steps back
Well we keep on moving
But we’re only losing ground
We’ve got to turn this love around
HAPPY HOLIDAYS / WHITE CHRISTMAS

Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true

Happy holiday to you
I’m dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I’m dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
Happy Holiday
