Gonzo Opening: Ready To Take A Chance Again

[No lyrics]

. . .



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

Singin' to the world
What's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world
Don't you see it all comes around
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes
Day after day Covered in clouds
Losin' our way

Hey, 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

. . .



Time
you found time enough to love
and I found love enough to hold you
so tonight, I'll stir the fire you feel inside
until the flames of love enfold you

layin' beside you, lost in the feeling
so glad you open my door
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
closing our eyes, and feeling the light
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night

you'll sleep when the morning comes
and I'll lie and watch you sleeping
and you'll smile, when you dream about the night
like it's a secret you've been keeping

Layin beside you lost in the feeling
so glad you open my door
you're my song
music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
lovin' so warm, moving so right
closing our eyes and feeling the light
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night.

. . .



This one will never sell,
they'll never understand,
I don't even sing it well,
I try, but I just can't.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to keep it in,
'Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.

I've done a hundred songs,
from fantasies to lies,
But this one's so real for me
that I'm the one who cries.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to hide the tears,
Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.

This One's For You wherever you are,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like This One's For You, oh.
This One's to say that all I can do
is hope that you will hea r me sing
cause This One's For You oh

This One's For You wherever I go,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have,
This One's For You oh

I've got it all,
it seems, for all it means to me,
But I sing of things I miss
and things that used to be.
And I wonder everynight
if you might just miss me too,
And I sing for you I sing for you.

. . .



There you are
Lookin' just the same as you did,
Last time I touched you
And, here I am
Close to gettin' tangled up
Inside the thought of you

Do you love him
as much as I love her
And will that love be strong
When old feelings start to stir

Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way,
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so, till today
Until you were there everywhere
And all I could taste was love
the way we made it

Love's so strange
Playin' hide and seek, with hearts
And always hurtin'
And we're the fools
Standin' close enough to touch
Those burnin' memories

And if I hold you
For the sake of all those times
love made us lose our minds
Could I ever let you go

Oh, no...we made it
Left each other, on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so, till today
Until you were there
everywhere
And all I could taste was love
the way we made it

. . .



CHORUS

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

you came along just like a song
and brighten my day
who would of believed that you where part of a dream
now it all seems light years away

and now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

and you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

. . .



We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

We're goin' swingin'
We're gonna swing in the crowd
And we'll be clingin'
And floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin'
My mom and dad are so proud
I'm on 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

We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

Bandstand bandstand bandstand

Hey I'm makin' my mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin'
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey, it's Mr.Dick Clark
What a place you've got here

Swell spot the music´s hot here
Best in the east,
Give it at least a seventy five!

Now for all you Joe's
Here goes my american handstand
Because I'm on,
Because I'm on the american bandstand
As we dance real slow
I'm showin' the guys in the grandstand
That I like my girl,
But I love american bandstand

The singers' croonin'
He ain't the greatest but gee
My baby's swoonin'
In front of all of TV
So if you tune in
You'll see my baby and me
On the bandstand

And now we're hoppin'
(it's boss, baby it's boss) (there you go!)
and we'll be happin' all day
(it's cool, baby it's cool!) (what a show!)
The philadelphia way
And you can drop in
(no school, baby no school!) (wave hello!)
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

And we'll rock and roll and stroll on american
Lindy hop and slop, it's american
Tune in, I'm on, turn on, I'm in, I'm on

Today! (Bandstand)

. . .



I remember all my life
raining 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 memory 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,
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 uphill climbing,
the tears are in my mind
and nothin' in rhyming.

Oh Mandy well,
you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
and I need you today. Oh, Mandy!

. . .



Even Now
when there's someone else who cares
when there's someone home who's waiting just for me
even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
and I wonder what to do so she won't see
that even now
when I know it wasn't right
and I found a better life than what we had
even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
and I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

CHORUS:

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 shining through
I swear I think of you
and how I wish you knew
even now

even now
when I never hear your name
and the world has changed so much since you been gone
even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same
and the 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 shining through
I swear I think of you
and God I wish you knew
some how
Even now

Harmony
Unforgettable harmony
Harmony
First there was harmony
And there was rhyme
This was our time

Harmony
Did we have harmony
And that's just about all we had!
Suddenly
A little harmony
And the poverty's not so bad
Thin, we were
Poor as sin in berlin, we were!
Patches on our pants
Mercif'lly, when you're in harmony
You're in a trance
Others went marching
Not us, we'd dance

No one in grodnogubernia
Ever learned to dance like this!

Spoken:
(Believe it or not I was a rabbi before all this started!
In grodnogubernia yet!)

If you're in grodnogubernia
Tell em', this you shouldn't miss!

Harmony
All arm in arm were we
Well, except when the punches flew
Squabbles, sure
But squabbles don't endure
When there's harmony in the brew
Then did we
Oh, so splendidly blend, did we
Like a spell had come
It was clear
My pals and I could hear
A different drum
Outside they hollered!
But we had…harmony!

In this joint
All encounters with counterpoint
End in harmony
And it's clear
No man's a solo here
Not even me
No solo mio!

No we've got harmony!
When we've got harmony
Then just maybe we've got a chance
Harmony, the best is harmony!
And the rest is a song and dance!

Where you find
You're in harmony
There you find
Shelter in a storm
Every note
A button on the coat
That keeps you warm
Stars have the heavens
But we've got harmony!
Harmony!
Harmony!
Harmony!
Troubles disappear
And what you feel is what you hear
Not what you see!
Yes, first there was
Harmony!


. . .



C'mon everybody open
up your windows
turn on the music
turn on the music

when I feel that this old world
is just to hard to bear
people comin' at me left and right
day and night
here's the thing I do

turn the radio up
hear the melody
turn reality down
there's too much talk about blues
to much of the time
turn the radio up
hear the harmony
turn the ngative down
turn the radio up
everything will be find

worryin' don't do no good
so throw your cares away
come on people life's too
short to stay
hey hey
everybody now

turn the radio up
hear the melody
play it all over town
there's to much talk about blues
turn the bulletins down
turn the radio up
hear the harmony
don't 'cha be so profound
turn the radio up
it'll turn you around

don't give in
no matter what they say
out with the negative
you find the positive way
hey, hey, hey

turn the radio up
up with harmony
pandemonium down
there's to much talk about blues
all over this town
hey, hey, hey

turn the radio up
hear the melody
don't you be so profound
turn the radio up
it'll turn you around

turn the radio up
turn the radio up
turn the radio up

The Best Of Me

[No lyrics]

. . .



Last night, I said goodbye
Now--it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me --holding you
Bringing us near

And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again

Time in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches
--and you, by the bay
We started a story
Whose end must now wait

And, tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again

I feel the change comin'
--I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring!
I feel my blood flow
With you
I can bring out
All the love, that I have
--With you there's a heaven
So earth ain't so bad

And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again

. . .



Spirit move me every time I'm near you,
whirling like a cyclone in my mind.
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime,
answer to all answers I can find.

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.

Lady take me high upon a hillside,
high up where the stallion meets the sun.
I could love you, build my world around you,
never leave you 'til my life is done.

. . .


Music by Barry Manilow, Lyric by Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman

My country, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims pride,
from ev'ry mountainside

Let Freedom Ring, let it's music resound throughout the nation.
Let it celebrate sweet liberty that is keeping us free and strong
Let Freedom Ring, and let everyone share its inspiration.

Let the promise not be satisfied until no one's denied its song
It's a dream to build upon.
We take the dream and pass it on (and on) and on (and on) and on

Let Freedom ring for the children of ev-ry generation]
May the love of freedom always ring and let everyone sing a long
It's a dream (it's a dream) to build upon.
We'll take the dream and pass it on (and on) and on (and on)
and let freedom sing, (Let freedom ring.)

Let freedom ring, for the children of ev'ry generation
May the love of freedom always ring; it has brought us this far (it has brought
us this far)
it proclaims who we are (it proclaims who we are),
and together we sing, "Let freedom ring,"
(Peo-ple ev'rywhere, let freedom ring; people ev'rywhere let freedom ring
People all o-ver the world let freedom ring
People ev'rywhere let freedom ring People ev'ry where,
let freedom ring; people ev'rywhere let freedom ring,
People all over the world let freedom ring
People ev'rywhere let freedom ring,
people ev'rywhere let freedom ring


. . .



You wouldn't believe where I've been,
The cities and towns I been in,
from Boston to Denver
and every town in between.

The people they all look the same,
only the names have been changed.
But now that I'm home again
I'll tell you what I believe:

It's a Miracle
a true blue spectacle,a miracle come true.

We're together baby,
I was goin' crazy till the miracle come through.
Now you're here and my arms
are around you and baby
they'll be dancin in the streets

for the miracle a true blue spectacle,
the miracle is you

I never knew you look so good.
Oh I never knew anyone could.
I must have been crazy
to every have gone away.

I almost forgot what it's like,
holdin you near me at night.
But now that I"m home again
you'll know that I'm home to stay,

cause it's a miracle a true blue spectacle,
a miracle come true.

We're together baby,
I was going crazy till the miracle come through.
I'm feeling so good,
and baby they'll be dancing in the streets

for the miracle a true blue spectacle,
the miracle is you.

Dialogue #3

[No lyrics]

. . .



My friends all use the past tense when they speak of you
And so to make the comfortable
I use it too
They's soon have me committed
If they only knew
What I believe with all my heart is true

I know you're there
Although it's nothing I can prove
I know you're there
By just the way the shadows move
And though I said goodbye
and finally let you go
I know you're there
Although I don't know how I know

I know you see
The crazy things I sometimes do
They make you laugh
So I still do them just for you
And when I'm entertaining all the friends I love
I know you see
And that you're laughing from above

You needn't panic
I'm not consulting any guru
Calling psychics, or practicing with voodoo
I'm not manic or depressive
I just miss you

So I'll go on
Enjoying every lovely day
Because I'm sure
You would have wanted it that way
And when there's sorrow
It's no more than I can bear
Because you are
And always were
And always will be there


. . .



I never thought that there could be
A love like yours and mine
I never dreamed that I would see
The day that I would find
A love that feels so right
But here we are tonight
And now the only thing we really need is time

We live on borrowed time
No one can be sure
When the loan will finally come due
But I'm loving all of mine
I know what time is for
I've borrowed it
So I can spend it all right here with you

There was a time when I believed
That life held guarantees
There was a time that I was sure
My future was secure
But life had other plans
The future's in God's hands
And knowing that just makes me love you even more

We live on borrowed time
Yesterday is past
Tomorrow seems a million miles away
But I promise you that I'm
Gonna make love last
By living every moment
Every hour every day

Now we may have a year
Or we may have a lifetime
No one can be certain
What the future will allow
But you and I are here
And this time is the right time
Cause one thing that I know
Is that we have each other now
And now

And we live on borrowed time
Let's celebrate and sing
As we walk bravely in to the unknown
Cause we're gonna be just fine
Whatever life may bring
We'll face it all together
And we'll never be alone

We'll face it all together
And we'll never be alone


. . .



Spirit move me every time I'm near you,
whirling like a cyclone in my mind.
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime,
answer to all answers I can find.

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.

Lady take me high upon a hillside,
high up where the stallion meets the sun.
I could love you, build my world around you,
never leave you 'til my life is done.

Fanfare/I'm Comin' Back

[No lyrics]

. . .


(from the Movie "Copacabana")

Sweet heaven I'm in love again
Sweet heaven I'm in love again
You came along now what can I do
I only want to be with you

Sweet heaven here I go again
I'm hooked from head to toe again
One minute I'm so lonely and then
Oh sweet heaven

Hey babe
Now that I've found you life's a song
Say babe
Where were you hiding I've been waiting so long

Sweet heaven I'm in love again
So totally in love again
I'll shout it everywhere I go
I'll sing it on the radio
I want the whole world to know
Sweet heaven I'm in love again

. . .



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

. . .



Doctor my woman is comin' back home late today
Could ya' maybe give me something?
'cause the feelin' is gone
and I must get it back right away
before she sees that I've been

Up, down, tryin' to get the feelin' again
All around tryin' to get the feelin' again
The one that made me shiver,
Made my knees start to quiver
Everytime she walked in

And I've looked high, low,
everywhere I possibly can
but there's no tryin' to get the feelin' again
it seemed to disappear as fast as it came

where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin'
But whatever I've done I guess
I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'

Chorus

. . .



We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time

Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay,

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

Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home

* And Somewhere down the road

Letting go is just another way to say
I'll always love you so

We had the right love
At the wrong time
Maybe we've only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come

* Cause Somewhere down the road

Dialogue #5

Every single day
We'll remember what we do today
Words we didn't say
We'll remember every single day
Then years go by
To wonder why, and wonder what we learned
Was that the bridge we should'a crossed?
The one we burned?

Every empty night
To regret a life that could've been
Maybe you were right,
just forget that emptiness within
So if you go
before that moment's gone
look at me the way
I'll remember every single day
From now on

You deserve,I don't know,
what the man I'd love to be
That's not the way it turned out
No, you fell in love with me

Everything you doubt
I will fight for every single day
Help me work it out
Make it right for every single day
But this I swear
I'd stake my life upon
If you go or stay
I will love you as I do today
And I love you
Every Single Day
From Now On

. . .



When my heart is torn apart
by love I wish I had,
Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights
and things don't seem so bad.
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me,
and the temp takes control,
and I lose my blues
when the Ne w York City rhythm fill my soul

it's the New York City rhythm
runnin' thru' my life,
the pounding beat of the city streets
that keeps mydreams alive.
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down,
but somehow I survive.
It's got to be the New York City
rhythm in my life,
It's got to be the New York City
rhythm in my life, in my life.

When I'm out for love or sin,
Oh, it's good to be in town,
In the funky dives on the old west sid
there's always somethin' goin' down.
Oh yes , I live my life with strangers,
and the danger's always there,
but when I hit Broadway and it's time to play,
ya know that I don't care

Chorus

. . .

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 through 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

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade

'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

Chorus

There goes the girl in the arms of someone new
night after night I can see the life
she's stumbing through
and I know that she'll never notice me
but I still look for a sign

'cause she should'a been mine
she could'a been mine
we would'a been sharing love until the end of
time
I should'a known how
we would'a been close to paradise by now
if it could'a been
it would'a been
still she should'a been mine

sometimes she smiles when I see her passing by
sometime she waves
when she turns and whispers "hi", again
and I see the pain of the life she lives
yet I'm hoping for a sign

'cause she should'a been mine
she could'a been mine
we would'a been sharing love until the end of
time
I should'a known how
we would'a been close to paradise by now
if it could'a been
it would'a been
still she should'a been mine

I'm the one that she's been lookin' for
we would have been so find
if it could'a been
it would'a been
still she should'a been mine

. . .



during the day
she's a full time typist
at the computer
and on the phone
during the day
he's a auto-mechanic
punchin' a time clock
and livin' alone

but at night
in the dark
when the sun goes down
yes at night
night is when they
go to town!

and they dance
and she fells like
Ginger Rogers
they dance!
he's got the flair
of Fred Astaire
they dance!
as they glide
around the ballroom
they dance!
and the world
belongs to them
when they dance!

nobody knows that
she has a secret
none of her family
would ever connect
all of his friends think
he's shy and quiet
not in the world would
they ever suspect

that at night
in the dark
when the sun goes down
yes at night
night is when they
go to town

and they dance!
he's as cool as
John Travolta!
they dance!
she's as hot as Janet J.!
they dance!
as they glide
around the ballroom
they dance!
they forget about the day
when they dance!

and they dance!
he's Antonio Banderas
they dance!
she's Ann Miller
on the screen!
they dance!
now the crowd
is cheering louder
they dance!
and the night
is like a dream
when they dance!

Dialogue #6

And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by

The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years

I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go

If Tomorrow Never Comes

[No lyrics]

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
she would merengue and do the cha-cha
and while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
they were young and they had each other
who could ask for more?

CHORUS:

At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
the hottest spot north of Havana (here)
at the copa (CO!) Copacabana
music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa.... they fell in love

His name was Rico
he wore a diamond
he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
and when she finished,he called her over
but Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
and then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
there was blood and a single gun shot
but just who shot who?

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa... she lost her love

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
still in dress she used to wear,
faded feathers in her hair
she sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blind
she lost her youth and she lost her Tony
now she's lost her mind

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa... don't fall in love
don't fall in love

. . .



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 thing s.
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 sole.
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm you'g 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.

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
