Barry Manilow - The Gonzo Hits Medley Lyrics
One voice singing in the darknessAll it takes is one voiceSinging so they hear what's on your mindAnd when you look around you'll findThere's more than one voice singing in the darknessJoining with that one voiceEach and every note another octaveHands are joined and fears unlockedIf only one voice should start it on it's ownWe need just one voice facing the unknownAnd then that one voice would never be aloneIt takes that one voiceI've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first songI put the words and the melodies togetherI am music and I write the songsI write the songs that make the whole world singI write the songs of love and special thingsI write the songs that make the young girls cryI write the songs, I write the songsAnd maybe the old songs will bring back the old timesMaybe the old lines will sound newMaybe she'll lay her head on my shoulderMaybe old feelings will come throughMaybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked awayMaybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stayWe're goin' hoppin' (Hop)we're goin' hoppin' todaywhere things are poppin' (Pop)the Philadelphia waywe're gonna drop in (Drop)on all the music they playon the Bandstand (Bandstand)We're goin' swingin' (Swing)we're gonna swingin' the crowdand we'll be clingin' (Cling)and floatin' high as a cloudThe phones are ringin' (Ring)My mom and dad are so proudI'm on Bandstand (Bandstand)And I'll jump, and hey, I may even show 'em my handstandbecause I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstandwhen we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstandwhat a swinger I am, I am on American BandstandI don't want to walk without you babyI don't want to walk without you, BabyWalk without my arm about you, BabyOh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me'Cause I don't want to walk without youNo, sireeLast night, I waved goodbye, now it seems yearsI'm back in the city, where nothin' is clearBut thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us nearAnd tell meWhen 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 nameAnd the world has changed so much since you've been goneEven now I still remember and the feeling's still the sameAnd this pain inside of me goes on and on, even nowEven now when I have come so farI wonder where you areI wonder why it's still so hard without youEven now when I come shinin' throughI swear I think of you and God, I wish you knewSomehow, SomehowI saw you at the Beechwood CafeYou looked at me and then you looked awayThat was some kindSome kind of friend you turned out to beYou said you had places that you had to beNow who is gonna be there for meThat was some kindSome kind of friend you turned out to beLady that was some kindSome kind of friend you turned out to beBaby that was some kindSome 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 hadWell, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (oo)And things don't seem so badYa know the movement seems to soothe meAnd the tempo takes controlAnd I lose my bluesWhen the New York City rhythm fills my soulIt's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams aliveI'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 surviveIt's got to be the New York City rhythm in my lifeOh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my lifeAt the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the Copa (CO!), CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the Copa....they fell in loveIf I could find the words then I would write it all downIf I could only find a voice I would speakBut it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonightCome on and look at me and read 'em and weepIt's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heartIt's running silent and angry and deepIt's there in my eyes and it's all I can sayCome on look at me and read 'em and weepRead 'em and weep - for all the hours we'll be spending aloneRead 'em and weep - for the dreams we'll ignoreRunning silent and deepFor all those promises we promised to keepWhy don't you look at me and read 'em and weepWhy don't you look at me and read 'emWhen I wanted you I needed youAnd I still can't bring myself to say I'm over youWhen I gave you time to make up your mindYou turned you back on meAnd now I turn my back on youBut somewhere down the roadOur roads are gonna cross againIt doesn't really matter whenBut somewhere down the roadI know that heart of yours will come to seeThat you belong with meThis one's for you wherever you areTo say that nothin's been the same since we've been apart Oh-uh-ohThis one's for all the love we once knewLike everything else I have, this one's for youDoctor, my woman is comin' back home late todayCoudja maybe give me somethin' ?'cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right awayBefore she sees thatI've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling againAll around, tryin' to get the feeling againThe one that made me shiverMade my knees start to quiverEvery time she walked inAnd I've looked high (high), low (low)Everywhere I possibly can (high)But there's no (no) tryin' to get the feelin' againIt seemed to disappear as fast as it cameI've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling againAnd I'm ready to take a chance againReady to put my love on the line with youBeen livin' with nothing for show for itYou get what you get when you go for itAnd I'm ready to take a chance again with youLet's hang on to what we gotDon't let go girl, we got a lotGot a lot of love between usHang on, hang on, hang onCome with meSomewhere in the night we will knowEverything lovers can knowYou're my song, music too magic to endI'll play you over and over againLovin' so warm, movin' so rightClosin' our eyes and feelin' aliveWe'll just go on burnin' brightSomewhere in the nightBaby, I love you, come, come, come into my armsLet me know the wonder of all of youBaby, I want you now, now, now, and hold on fastCould this be the magic at last?We dreamers have our waysOf facing rainy daysAnd somehow we surviveWe keep the feelings warmProtect them from the stormUntil our time arrivesThen one day the sun appearsAnd we come shining through those lonely yearsI made it through the rainI kept my world protectedI made it throught the rainI kept my point of viewI made it through the rainAnd found myself respectedBy the others whoGot rained on tooAnd made it throughLooks like we made itLooks like we made itI'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come inLet it come on inI'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spinLook at where we've beenWe've been runnin' around, year after yearBlinded with pride, blinded with fearBut it's daybreak, if you wanna believeIt can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieveSaid it's daybreak if you'll only believeAnd let it shine, shine, shineAll around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)It's from me it's for youIt's from you, it's for meIt's a worldwide symphonyI write the songs that make the whole world singI write the songs of love and special thingsI write the songs that make the young girls cryI write the songs, I write the songs
