Barry Manilow Album

Just 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 your One Voice,
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked,
If only

One Voice
would start it on its own,
We need just One Voice facing the unknown,
And that One Voice would never be alone
It takes that One Voice.
Would never be alone
It takes that One Voice.

Just One Voice
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Shout it out and let it ring.
Just One Voice,
It takes that One Voice,
And everyone will sing!

Why don't we try a slow dance
It's all going by us too fast
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance
And maybe this moment will last

All night long we've been dancing
Dancing too far away
All night long I've been waiting for them to play
A slow dance

Why don't we try a slow dance
Before it all comes to a close
We'll see how it feels
And see where the feelings goes
Oh, why don't we try a slow dance
And then who knows

Gary clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
All night long you're tossin' in my bed
All night long I'm outa my head it's

Rain, fallin' down from the sky
Kissin' my love goodbye
Rain fallin´down
I can't take the rain
Washin' my love away
I'm cryin' for yesterday
Rain fallin' down

Gary clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
Don't know where this lovin' has led
Why can't there be sun instead of rain

We walked to the sea
Just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand
Winter cold cut the air
Hangin' still everywhere
Dressed in gray, did he say
Hold my hand

I said, love's easier when it's far away
We sat and watched a distant light
We're two ships that pass in the night
We both smile and we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night

There's a boat on the line
Where the sea meets the sky
There's another that rides far behind
And it seems you and I are like strangers
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time

He said, it's harder now, we're far away
We only read you when you write

We're two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night

repeat

I don't know how to begin
To let myself let you in But you
Maybe you could show me

There's so much more I would say
If someone showed me the way
Like you Maybe you could show me

I've been so used to getting what I want
Doing what I want to do
I've always been the one who took the lead
Now I find I need
I need to follow you

So won't you help me come through
My future's long overdue
It's time I think I'm ready now
And you could show me how

All our friends keep knocking at the door
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause...

I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back
or you'll break my heart for me
'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, siree

Something's in the air
I answer the phone and there's nobody there
And you´re changin' the way
That you're wearin' your hair
And I wonder yes I wonder

Something's on my mind
The letters you get, cigarettes that I find
And you know that I'd have to be deaf,
Dumb and blind
Not to wonder not to wonder

Who's been sleeping in my bed
Gettin' what I get
When I don't get it
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
Who's been sleeping
Who's been sleeping in my bed

Little things I miss
The ring on your finger, the fire in your kiss
How the hell could the love
that we had come to this
And I wonder yes I wonder

I don't understand
The paperboy winks at the telephone man
And the milkman he smiles
when he's shakin' my hand
And I wonder yes I wonder

Outside the sky is water color grey
Newspaper says to look for rain today
No one around for company
And so I turn to memories to pass the time away

Each face that flashes back to mind
Seems as it was untouched by time
I can't recall quite all the names
Each one is precious all the same

How strange to think
How many friends
Were lost somewhere behind

Where are they now
How I miss those companions
Who walked the canyons of the night
By my side
Where are they now
Like so many crazy dancers
We live only for the answers in a song
But that was long ago
Where are they now

When love was new and wonderful
There was no word impossible
The future we saw with our inds
Was something of our hearts design
Between today and yesterday
Life came between us all

Chorus

Her name is Bobbie Lee and she´s movin´
she´s gotta make a dream come true
some might say she took a dead wrong turn
she took the only road she knew
there´s nothin' gonna stop or stall her
and luck is on her side tonight
they're pullin´over to the curb to call her
man, she loves these city lights
she says

So what's the difference I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I wanna go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time
And I don't want you feelin' funny
Just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin' by by sellin' honey

So what's the difference I gotta live...

Tho' we're going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
'Cause I didn't mean that much to you
Work it out, don't lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
'Cause you've got the heart to be secure

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've got to turn my back on you

After all that we've been through
Leavin' you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own

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'm turnin' mine on you

Now you're on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel

Chorus

Hand in his hands through the park
All afternoon
A fine day to fly balloons or tell him a story
Hand in his hand to wonder
Till day is done
Sunday father and son

Sundays are theirs to explore
Alone by law
One day to keep the two from turning to strangers,
One to know the answers
Be firm, be fun
Sunday father and son

The father weaves through the weekend streets
Sunday alone, Monday comin´on
He leaves the child by a modest home
That they share no more
With the woman who waits indoors
Till she knows he's gone

Where are the words or the games
A place to go
Someway to let him know you want to be with him
Somehow it's always ending
Just half begun
Sunday father and son
Sunday father and son
