Barry Manilow - The Gonzo Hits Medley lyrics
One voice singing in the darkness All it takes is one voice Singing so they hear what's on your mind And when you look around you'll find There's more than one voice singing in the darkness Joining with that one voice Each and every note another octave Hands are joined and fears unlocked If only one voice should start it on it's own We need just one voice facing the unknown And then that one voice would never be alone It takes that one voice I've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first song I put the words and the melodies together I am music and I write the songs I write the songs that make the whole world sing I write the songs of love and special things I write the songs that make the young girls cry I write the songs, I write the songs And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times Maybe the old lines will sound new Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder Maybe old feelings will come through Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay We're goin' hoppin' (Hop) we're goin' hoppin' today where things are poppin' (Pop) the Philadelphia way we're gonna drop in (Drop) on all the music they play on the Bandstand (Bandstand) We're goin' swingin' (Swing) we're gonna swingin' the crowd and we'll be clingin' (Cling) and floatin' high as a cloud The phones are ringin' (Ring) My mom and dad are so proud I'm on Bandstand (Bandstand) And I'll jump, and hey, I may even show 'em my handstand because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand when we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstand what a swinger I am, I am on American Bandstand I don't want to walk without you baby I don't want to walk without you, Baby Walk without my arm about you, Baby Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me 'Cause I don't want to walk without you No, siree Last night, I waved goodbye, now it seems years I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near And tell me When will our eyes meet? When can I touch you? When will this strong yearnin' end? And when will I hold you again? Even now when I never hear your name And the world has changed so much since you've been gone Even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now Even now when I have come so far I wonder where you are I wonder why it's still so hard without you Even now when I come shinin' through I swear I think of you and God, I wish you knew Somehow, Somehow I saw you at the Beechwood Cafe You looked at me and then you looked away That was some kind Some kind of friend you turned out to be You said you had places that you had to be Now who is gonna be there for me That was some kind Some kind of friend you turned out to be Lady that was some kind Some kind of friend you turned out to be Baby that was some kind Some kind of friend you turned out to be (City rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo) When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (oo) By the love I wish I had Well, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (oo) And things don't seem so bad Ya know the movement seems to soothe me And the tempo takes control And I lose my blues When the New York City rhythm fills my soul It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm) The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found) I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow 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 At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....they fell in love If I could find the words then I would write it all down If I could only find a voice I would speak But it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight Come on and look at me and read 'em and weep It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart It's running silent and angry and deep It's there in my eyes and it's all I can say Come on look at me and read 'em and weep Read 'em and weep - for all the hours we'll be spending alone Read 'em and weep - for the dreams we'll ignore Running silent and deep For all those promises we promised to keep Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep Why don't you look at me and read 'em When I wanted you I needed you And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you When I gave you time to make up your mind You turned you back on me And now I turn my back on you But somewhere down the road Our roads are gonna cross again It doesn't really matter when But somewhere down the road I know that heart of yours will come to see That you belong with me This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothin's been the same since we've been apart Oh-uh-oh This one's for all the love we once knew Like everything else I have, this one's for you Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today Coudja maybe give me somethin' ? 'cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right away Before she sees that I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again All around, tryin' to get the feeling again The one that made me shiver Made my knees start to quiver Every time she walked in And I've looked high (high), low (low) Everywhere I possibly can (high) But there's no (no) tryin' to get the feelin' again It seemed to disappear as fast as it came I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again And I'm ready to take a chance again Ready to put my love on the line with you Been livin' with nothing for show for it You get what you get when you go for it And I'm ready to take a chance again with you Let's hang on to what we got Don't let go girl, we got a lot Got a lot of love between us Hang on, hang on, hang on 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 Baby, I love you, come, come, come into my arms Let me know the wonder of all of you Baby, I want you now, now, now, and hold on fast Could this be the magic at last? We dreamers have our ways Of facing rainy days And somehow we survive We keep the feelings warm Protect them from the storm Until our time arrives Then one day the sun appears And we come shining through those lonely years I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it throught the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through Looks like we made it Looks like we made it I'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come in Let it come on in I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin Look at where we've been We've been runnin' around, year after year Blinded with pride, blinded with fear But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing) It's from me it's for you It's from you, it's for me It's a worldwide symphony I write the songs that make the whole world sing I write the songs of love and special things I write the songs that make the young girls cry I write the songs, I write the songs |
