YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND
By
Barry Manilow
***************
When you’re down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
Yes I will
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
WE’VE GOT TONIGHT
***************
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one’ll care
Look at the stars
So far away
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
Deep in my soul
I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes
Fading away
I’ve long for love
Like everyone else does
But I may stop searching
After today
So there it is, girl
I’ve said it all now
And here we are
What do you say
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let’s make it last
Let’s find away
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We got tonight babe
Why don’t you stay
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
***************
If I could make a wish
I think I pass
Can’t think of any thing I need
No cigarettes,no sleep
No light,no sound
Nothing to real
Making love with you
Has made me peaceful
Warm,and tired
What more could I ask
Their nothing left to be desire
Sometimes, all I need is the
Air that I breath
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came apond me
And it leaves me weak
Sleep silent angel
Go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is this
Air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
All I need is the air that I breathe
MANDY (ACOUSTIC)
***************
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
A face through a window cryin’ in the night,
The night goes into
Morning just another day;
Happy people pass my way.
Looking in their eyes,
I see a memory I never realized how happy you made me.
Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
I’m standing on the edge of time;
I’ve walked away when love was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
The tears are in my mind and nothin’ in rhyming.
Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
Yesterday’s a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today Oh, Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you

HALFWAY OVER THE HILL
***************
I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky
but don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on
I’ve been running all my life
lord , I’ve run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people grieveing
seeing towns I don’t remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky
don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
