Barry Manilow Album

give my regards to broadway
remember me to Harold Square
tell all the gang at 42nd street
that I will soon be there
whisper of how I'm yearning
to mingle with the old time throng
give my regards to old broadway
and say that I'll be there airlong

[No lyrics]

once my clothes where shabbie
tailors called me cabbie
so I took a vow
said this bummo bee bo borammo
now I'm smooth and snappy
now my tailors happy
I'm the cats meow
my wordrobe is a wow
Paris silk,Haris tweed
there's only one thing I need
got my tweed press
got my best vest
all I need now is the girl
got my striped tie
got my hopes high
got the time and the place
and I got rhythm
now all I need is the girl to go with 'em
if she'll just apear
we'll take this big town for a whirl
and if she'll say
my darlin I'm yours I'll through away
my stiped tie and my best dress tweed
all I really need is the girl
(talk) I start easy you see
now I'm more deberner
break
da'da'da'da'da
da'da'da'da'da'da
(talk)and now I sell it here
how can she resist
and if she'll say
my darlin I'm yours I'll through away
my striped tie and my best dress tweed
all I really need
is the girl

Pardon me miss
but I've never done this
with a real live girl
what could be harmful
in holding an armful
of a real live girl
pardon me if you're affectionate squeeze
fogs up my goggles and
buckels my knees
I'm simply drown in the sight, and the sounds,
and the scent and the feel
of a real live girl
nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
by a real live girl
dreams of you but don't compare with a hunk
of a real live girl
girl's were to girlish
was once my belief
whata reversal and what a relief
I'll take the flowering hat
and the towering hill
and the squeal of a real live girl
I've seen photographs and faximilies
that have set my heart off in a whirl
but I over look everyone in the book
for a real live girl
take your vernecion or romanaprrection
ideal live girl
go be a hold out for Helen of Troy
I am a healthy American Boy
and I rather gape at the dear little shape of the stir
and the kill of a real live girl
full time, occasional all operational girl

It seems we stood here
and take like this before
we look at each other
in the same old way
but I can't remember
where or when
the clothes you're wearing
are the clothes you wore
the smile you're smiling
you where smiling then
I can't remember where or when
Something's that happened for the first time
seem to be happening again
and so it seems that we have met before
and laugh before and loved before
but who knows where or when
Something's that happened for the first time
seem to be happening again
and so it seems that we have met before
and laugh before and loved before
but who knows where or when

On the day I was born
set me father said he
I've got an elegant legacy waiting for me
it's a rhyme for your lips
it's a song for your heart
to sing it whenever the world falls apart
look, look , look to the rainbow
follow it over the hills and stream
look, look, look to the rainbow
follow the fellow who follows our dream
it was a sumptuous gift
to beguile to a child
or the lore of that song kept her feet running wild
for you never grow old
and you never stand still
with whisper will singing beyond the next hill
look, look , look to the rainbow
follow it over the hills and stream
look, look, look to the rainbow
follow the fellow who follows a dream
strike one me heart and I roam the world free
to the east with a lark
to the west with the sea
and I searched all the Earth
and I scanned all the sky
but I found it at last
in my own true love's eyes
look, look , look to the rainbow
follow it over the hills and stream
look, look, look to the rainbow
follow the fellow who follows the dream
follow the fellow
follow the fellow
follow the fellow
who follows the dream

I caught you sir
having a look at her
as she went strolling by
now didn't your heart go
boom,boom,boom,boom,boom
and didn't you sigh a sigh
I warned you sir
never to dream of her
just bid such thoughs begone
or it'll be
boom,boom,boom,boom,boom,boom,boom
boom,boom,boom,boom
from then on
for once in love with Amy
always in love with Amy
ever and ever fasinated by her
sets your heart a fire to stay
once you're kissed by Amy
tear up your list it's Amy
ply her with bon-bons, poetry,and flowers
moon a million hours away
you might be quiet the fickle hearted rover
so care free and bold
who loves a girl
and later thinks it over
and just quits cold
but once in love with Amy
alway in love with Amy
ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her
trouble is the answer will be
that Amy rather stay in love with me

Dancind in the dark
till the tune ends where dancing in the dark
and it soon ends we're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
time hurries by were here and gone
looking for the light
of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together
dancing in the dark
what though love is old
what though song is old
though them we can be young
hear this heart of mind
make your's part of mind
dear one tell me that we're one
we're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
time hurries by we're here and gone
we're looking for the light
of a new love to brighten up the night
I have knew love and we can face the music together
dancing in the dark
dancing in the dark
dancing in the dark

I'll be seeing you
in all the old familiar places
that this heart of mind embrases
all day through
In that small cafe
the park across the way
the children's carousel
the chestnut tree
the wishing well
and I'll be seeing you
in every lovely summers day
in every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
oh but
I'll be seeing you
in every lovely summers day
in every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
but I'll be seeing you

Sometimes you're happy
and sometimes you're sad
but the world goes round
and sometimes you lose
every nickel you had
but the world goes round
sometimes you're dreams get broken in pieces
but that doesn't matter at all
take it from me, there's still going to be
a summer, a winter, a spring and a fall
and sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
but the world goes round
and sometimes your heart breaks
with a deafing sound
somebody loses, and somebody wins
and one day it's kicks
and it's kicks in the shins
but the plant spins
and world goes round and round
sometimes you're happy and sometimes your sad
but the world goes round
and sometimes you lose
every nickel you had
but the world goes round
sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
but that shouldn't altar a thing
take it from me, there's till going to be
a summer, a winter, a fall and a spring
and sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
but the world goes round
and sometimes your heart breaks
with a deafing sound
somebody loses, and somebody wins
and one day it's kicks then it's kicks in the shins
but the planet spins
and the world goes round
and round and round and round and round
the world goes round
and round
and round
and round

Luck be a lady tonight
luck be a lady tonight
luck if you ever been a lady
to begin with
luck be a lady tonight
luck let a gentleman see
how nice a dame you can be
I know the other way you treated other guys you've been with

a lady doesn't wonder all over the room
and blow on some other guys dice

stick with me baby
I'm the fellow you came in with
luck be a lady tonight
a lady wouldn't flirt with strangers

when I bet my life on this roll
so let's keep the party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me baby
I'm the fellow you came in with
luck be a lady
luck be a lady
luck be a lady

Hey old friend
are you ok old friend
what'll you say old friend
are we or are we unique
time goes by
everything else keeps changing
you and I we get continued next week
most friends fade
or they don't make the grade
new ones are quickly made
and in a pinch, sure they'll do
but us old friends
what's to discuss old friend
here's to us
who's like us
damn few

There's a kid inside
and I have him with me always
there's a kid inside
walking down old high school hallways
there's a kid inside
at a desk, at a dance, in the halls,in the showers
there's a kid inside
to this very day
and he makes a try for that high pop fly
that I fumble one september
and he makes a fuss
over some A plus
that I shouldn't still remember
and he goes along
getting hurt,getting mad,fighting fights that are over
and unless I'm strong
all my senses are carried away
I could fell my hand
my tremblin hand
on the shelf angora sweather
I can hear my band
that awful band,only now it sounds much better
I can see the kid
the kid I use to be
on the stage,on the field,on the lunch line
I can feel him tugging at me
every time I think I don't care I blink
and he's there again
he's there again
fighting ancient wrongs
humming old hit songs in my head
singing come along,come along
come along for the ride
to a time and place
I could not forget if I tried
and I never know when the breeze'll blow
with a rush of old sensation
why the kid should wake
and my heart should ache
everytime I smell carnations
something rings the bell
any thing at all
all it takes is a slam of a locker
of the switch from summer or fall
a change in season
seems better than reason
but there he goes
he's there again
fighting ancient wrong
humming old hit songs in my head
singing come along, come along
come along for the ride
to a time and place
I could not for get if I try
there he goes again
hummin his songs
he's there again
there's a kid inside
hummin his songs
he's there again
there's a kid inside

Never met a man I didn't like
High fullutent chant or bowery bum
yes, I've come a long way
down the pike
never met a man I didn't like
never shook a hand I didn't like
Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe
though I know life's one long rocky hike
never met a man I didn't like
in all of my wonderin'
I've bumped into all kinds of people
fancy cinema stars, false avangelist
politicians, morgutitions
and I have reached the conclusion
while hiking the pike
though I try and I try
never once met a guy that I didn't like
I said I roam along a Nappa Valley
Shubert Alley, Ru de la Play
Oklahoma, Camalazo oh oh oh
and I have reached the conclusion
while hiking the pike
yes I'll say when I'm done
no I never met one that I didn't like
met the worst and met the best
somebody put me into the test
almost made me change my mind
yet somehow I always find
if you don't expect too much
there's a certain human touch
homosapiens have got other animals have not
try the shoes on that are his
feel what makes him what he is
what's it like inside his skin
living in the skin he's in
just like me a lump of sod
there what for the grace of God
that is a philosphy of this part time cherokee
present into king or Pat and Mike
folks can last but I can give up hope
spun my rope along way down the pike
never met a man I didn't like
high tone gent, bowery bum
Prince of Wales, working Joe
Pat and Mike
cherokee, philosphy
I never met a man I didn't like

God on high
here my pray
in my need
you have always been there
he is young
he's afraid
let him rest
heaven blessed
bring him home
bring him home
bring him home
he's like the son I might have known
if God had granted me a son
the summer's die one by one
how soon they fly on and on
before I'm old before I'm gone
bring him peace
bring him joy
he is young
he is only a boy
you can take you can give
let him be let him live
if I die, let me die
let him live
bring him home
bring him home
bring him home

If we only have love
then tomorrow we'll dawn
and the days of our years
will rise on that morn'
if we only have love
to embrase without fears
we will kiss with our eyes
we will sleep without tears
if we only have love
with our arms open wide
then the young and the old
will stand at our side
if we only have love
love that's falling like rain
then the parch desert Earth
will grow green again
if we only have love
for the hym that we shout
for the song that we sing
then we'll have a way out
if we only have love
we can reach those in pain
we can heal all our wounds
we can use our own names
if we only have love
we can melt all the guns
and then give the new world
to our daughters and sons
if we only have love
then Jersusalem's stands
and then death has no shadow
there are no foreign lands
if we only have love
we will never bow down
we'll be tall as the pines
neither here or nor clowns
if we only have love
then we'll only be men
and we'll drink from the grail
to be born once again
then with nothing at all
but the middle we are
we'll have conquered all time
all space the sun and the stars
