I Write The Songs (Barry Manilow)

I Write The Songs (Barry Manilow)

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

(chorus)
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

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

(chorus)

Oh my music makes you dance
And gives your spirit 
to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n roll 
so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well that's a real fine 
place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's from me
It's a world wide symphony

(chorus)

I am music, and I write the songs

Mandy (Barry Manilow)

Mandy  (Barry Manilow)

I remember all my life rainin' 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 mem'ry

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 you 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 up-hill climbing

The tears are in my mind and nothing is rhyming.



Oh

Mandy

well you came and you gave without taking

.



Yesterday's a dream-l face the morning

Crying on a breeze

the pain is calling



Oh

Mandy

well you came and you gave without taking

CLOSE TO YOU (Carpenters)

CLOSE TO YOU (Carpenters)

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to youWhy do stars fall down from the sky

  Every time you walk by?

  Just like me, they long to be

  Close to youOn the day that you were born

  The angels got together

  And decided to create a dream come true

  So they sprinkled moon-dust

  In your hair of gold

  And starlight in your eyes of blueThat is why all the girls in town

  Follow you all around

  Just like me, they long to be

  Close to you[break]On the day that you were born

  The angels got together

  And decided to create a dream come true

  So they sprinkled moon-dust

  In your hair of gold

  And starlight in your eyes of blueThat is why all the girls in town

  Follow you all around

  Just like me, they long to be

  Close to youJust like me, they long to be

  Close to you(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

  (Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

  (Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

  (Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

Good-bye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh

He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue

And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston

I Will Always Love You

by Whitney Houston

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go but I know,
I'll think of you
every step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You. My darling you. Mmmm.
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me.
So goodbye, please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have

All you've dreamed of.
and I wish to you joy,
And happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you...
I will always love you...
