Barry Manilow Album

If I wrote history
and could pocket a moment for me
it would be
singin' with the big bands
I would turn back the clock
for the time we'll be in for a shock
hearin me singin' with the big bands
if I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp
I'd tell him do your thing
and like that I would be
at the Paramount in '43
and I sing
ringin' in the good times
swingin' with the big boys
singin' with the big bands
singin' with the big bands
If I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp
I'd tell him Mr. Genie go on and do your thing
and like that I would be
at the Paramount in '43
and I sing
ringin' in the good times
singin' with the big boys
wingin' it in swing time
bringing back the big nose
I'm jumpin with the Duke
stoppin with the King
cooler than the Kid
swinging everything
I'm singin' with the big bands

gonna take a sentimental journey
gonna to set my heart at ease
gonna take a sentimental journey
to renew old memories
got my bag
I got my reservation
spend each dime I could afford
like a child in wild anticipation
long to hear that all aboard
seven, that's the time we leave at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
counting every mile of railroad track
that takes me back
never thought my heart could be so yearning
why did I decide to roam
gonna take a sentimental journey
sentimental journey home
sentimental journey

We meet and the angels sing
the angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
we speak and the angels sing
or am I reading music into every word
Suddenly the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore
then suddenly I see it all change
long winter nights with the candles gleaming
through it all, your face that I adore
you smile and the angels sing
and though it's just a gentle murmur at the start
we kiss and the angels sing
and leave there music ringing in my heart
you smile and the angels sing
and though it's just a gentle murmur at the start
we kiss and the angels sing
and leave there music ringing in my heart

Your green eyes with the soft light
your eyes that promise sweet nights
bring to my soul a longing
of thirst for love's devine
in dreams I seem to hold you
to find you and enfold you
our lips meet and our hearts too
with a thrill so sublime
those cool and limbit green eyes
a pool where in my love lies
so deep that in my searching
for happiness I feel
that they will ever hunt me
all through my life they'll taunt me
but will they ever want me
green eyes
make my dream come true
green eyes with there soft lights
and eyes that promise sweet nights
bring to my soul a longing
a thirst for love devine
in dreams I seem to hold you
to find you and enfold you
our lips meet and our hearts too
with a thrill so sublime
those cool and limbit green eyes
a pool where in my love lies
so deep that in my searching
for happiness I feel
that they will ever hunt me
all through my life they'll taunt me
but will they ever want me
green eyes
make my dream come true

I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
strangely enough I sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
but then I count my sheep well
funny how sheep can love you to sleep
but I should care
I shouldn't let it upset me
I should care
but it just doesn't get me
maybe I won't find someone
as lovely as you
but I should care
and I do
but I should care
and I do

Miss the saturday dance
heard they crowded the floor
I couldn't bare it without you
don't get around much anymore
thought I visit the club
got as far as the door
they have asked me about you
don't get around much anymore
well darling I guess
my mind's more at ease
but never the less
I stir up memories
been invited on dates
might have gone but what for
awfully different without you
don't get around much anymore
well darling I guess
my mind's more at ease
but never, never the less
a baby why stir up memories
I miss the dance again
might have gone but what for
awfully different without you
don't get around much anymore

I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revalations in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
still I can't get started with you
on the golf course, I'm under par
and Metro Golden's asked me to star
I've got a house, a show place
still I can't get no place with you
cause you're so supreme
lyrics I write of you
I dream, dream night and day of you
and I steam just for the sight of you
baby what good does it do
I've been counsulted by Franklin D
and Greta Garbo gave me her key
still I'm broken hearted
cause I can't get started with you
in 1929 I sold short
in England I'm presented a cord
but you've got me down hearted
cause I can't get started with you

(Hi there Tex, what you say?)
Step aside partner, it's my day
bend an ear, and listen to my version
of a really solid Tennessee excursion
pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
(Yes, Yes, Track 29)
Hey would you give me a shine?
(Can you afford to board Chattanooga Choo-Choo?)
I got my fare
and just the travel to spare
you leave the Pennsylvania Station by a quarter to four
you read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
dinner in a diner
nothing could be finer
and then to have a hammer in the Carolina
when you hear the whistle blowing into the bar
then you now the Tennessee is not very far
shove a all the coal in
gotta keep a rollin'
woo-woo Chattanooga there you are
there's gonna be
a certain party at the station
Satin and Lace (ooh)
I use to call funny face
(doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
she's gonna cry
until I promise to never ever roll,
so Chattanooga choo-choo
won't you choo choo me home
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)
get aboard
(Chattanooga Chattanooga)
Chattanooga choo choo
won't you choo-choo me home
Chattanooga choo choo
let's dance

I stand at your gate
and the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait
for the touch of your hand in the June light
the roses are side you
a moonlight serenade
the star's are a glow
and tonight how there light
sets me dreaming
my love do you know
that your eyes, are like stars
brightly beaming
I bring you, and sing you
a moonlight serenade
let us stray, till break of day
in loves valley of dreams
just you and I
a summer sky
a heavenly breeze
kissing the trees
so don't let me wait
come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
and I sing you a song in the moonlight
a love song, my darlin
a moonlight serenade
so don't let me wait
come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
and I sing you a song in the moonlight
a love song, my darlin
a moonlight serenade
a moonlight serenade

Grab your coat
don't forget your hat
we'll leave your worries
leave them on the doorstep
my sweet
just direct your feet
to the sun, sunny side of the street
hop bop a doddle zag
pitter pat
you know that happy tune
is my step
life's all weak
if you dig that beat
on the sunny, sunny side of the street
used to walk in the shade
with my blues on parade
what a drag old man
getting stuck in the shade
get hit, don't be afraid
move it on over
feel yourself in the clover

All, or nothing at all
half a love, never appeal to me
if your heart never could heal to me
then I rather have nothing at all
all, or nothing at all
if it's love, there is no in between
why begin then cry for
something that might have been
no I rather have nothing at all
so please don't bring your lips
so close to my cheek
so don't smile or I'll be lost
beyone recall
the kiss in your eyes
the touch of your hand makes me weak
and my heart may go dizzy and fall
and if I fell under the spell
of your call
I would be caught in the undertoe
so you'll see
I've got to say no no
all or nothing at all
all or nothing at all

I'll never smile again
until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
what good would it do
for tears would fill my eyes
my heart would realize
that our romance is through
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
to somebody new
within my heart
I know I would never start
to smile again
until I smile at you
within my heart
I know I would never start
to smile again
until I smile at you
until I smile at you

I'm gettin' sentimental over you
things you say and do
just thrill me through and through
I'm gettin' sentimental over you
I thought I was happy
I could live without love
now I must admit
love is all that I'm thinking of
won't you please be kind
and just make up your mind
that you'll be sweet and gentle
be gentle with me
because I'm sentimental over you
now I must admit
love is all that I'm thinking of
won't you please be kind
and just make up your mind
that you'll be sweet and gentle
be gentle with me
because I'm sentimental over you

Don't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me
anyone else but me
anyone else but me
no no no
don't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me
'til I come marching home
don't go walking down lovers lane
with anyone else but me
anyone else but me
anyone else but me
no no no
don't go walking down lovers lane
with anyone else but me
'til I come marching home
I just got word from a guy who heard
from the guy next door to me
the girl he met just loved to pet
and fits you to a "T"
so don't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me
'til I come marching home
don't give out with those lips of yours
to anyone else but me
anyone else but me
anyone else but me
no no no
watch the girls on the foreign shores
you'll have to report to me
when you come marching home
you're on your own
when there is no phone and I can't keep tab on you
be fair to me I'll garuantee
this is one thing that I'll do
I won't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but you
'til you come marching home
don't sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me
I know the apple tree
is reserved for you and me
and I'll be true
'til you come marching home

I'll be with you in apple blossom time
I'll be with you to change your name to mine
one day in May I'll come and say
happy the bride the sunshine's on today
what a wonderful wedding day there will be
what a wonderful day for you and me
church bells will chime
you will be mine
in apple blossom time
what a wonderful wedding day there will be
one day in May
what a very very wonderful day
for you and me dear
church bells will chime
you will be mine
in apple, in apple blossom time

Oh what a time
what a warm an wonderous time
so sweet a shinning moment in the sun
Oh what a time
was there ever such a time
then suddenly it's done
the moment passes
where, where does the time go
must we let it end
where,where does the time go
gone to soon my friend
and where, where go the echo's
of our laughter ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
must we let it end
and where,where go the echo's
of our laughter ringing the air
Oh where ever the time goes
I will see you there
I will see you there
