Barry Manilow Album

It was one of those summer's
lasting forever
making the winter wait
a summer of music and passion
the summer of '78
you appeared like the summer
sudden and perfect
and not a day too late
I swear there was music when I found you
that summer of '78
it seem we floated through the days
and nights were always filled with stars
and it seemed every song they played on the radio
was ours
it was one of those summer's
only for lovers
touched by the hand of faith
and now when the winter's are long
I remember the summer of '78

[No lyrics]

Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
we got down to the gate
and I was dreaming of the night
would it turn out right
how to tell you girl
I want to build my world around you
tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand
I'm talking about a life time plan
that's the way it began
we were hand in hand
Glen Miller's Band was better than before
we yelled and screamed for more
and the porter too
made us dance across the room
it ended it all too soon
and on the way back home
I promise you, you'll never be alone
hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
we'll go dancing in the dark
walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
we got down to the gate
and I was dreaming of the night
would it turn out right
now as the years roll on
each time we hear our favorite song
the memories come along
older times we're missing
spending the hours reminiscing
hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
we'll go dancing in the dark
walking through the park and reminiscing
we'll go dancing in the dark
walking through the park and reminiscing
you should be dancing
dancing
dancing
dancing
and reminiscing

Hello girl it's been a while
guess you'll be glad to know
that I've learn how to laugh and smile
getting over you was slow
they say old lovers can be good friends
but I never thought I really see you
I really see you again
I go crazy
when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
no my heart just can't high
that old feeling in side
way deep down inside
oh baby
you know when I look in your eyes
I go crazy
you say he satasified your mind
tells you all of his dreams
I know how much that means to you
I realize that I was blind
just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain't true
you know it just ain't true
I go crazy
when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
that old flame comes alive
it starts burning inside
way deep down inside
oh baby
you know when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
oh it just ain't true
no it's just ain't true
I go crazy
when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
that old flame comes alive
it starts burning inside
way deep down inside
oh baby
you know when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy

When I need you
I just close my eyes
and I'm with you
and all that I so want to give you
it's only a heart beat away
when I need love
I hold out my hands
and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
miles and miles of empty space
in between us
a telephone can't take the place of your smile
but you know I won't be traveling forever
it's cold out, but hold out
and do like I do
when I need you
I just close my eyes
and I'm with you
and all that I so want to give you
it's only a heart beat away
it's not easy when
the road is your driver
honey that's a heavy load that we bare
but you know I won't be
traveling a life time
it's cold out but hold out
and do like I do
oh I need you
when I need love
I hold out my hands
and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
and you're right here by my side
keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
and I'm with you
and all that I want to give you
it's only a heart beat away
(fade out)

If I could make a wish
I think I pass
can't think of any thing I need
no cigarettes,no sleep
no light,no sound
nothing to real
making love with you
has made me peaceful
warm,and tired
what more could I ask
their nothing left to be desire
sometimes ,all I need is the
air that I breath
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
yes to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
peace came apond me
and it leaves me weak
sleep silent angel
go to sleep
sometimes, all I need is this
air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
yes to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
all I need is the air that I breathe
all I need is the air that I breathe
(fade out)

After you go
I can catch upon my reading
after you go
I'll have a lot more time for sleeping
and when you're gone
it looks like things are going to be a lot easier
life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad
but I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without is going to be
bluer than blue
after you go
I'll have a lot more room in my closet
after you go
I'll stay out all night if I feel like it
and when you're gone
I could run through the house screaming
and no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad
but I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without is going to be
bluer than blue
I don't have to miss no t.v. shows
I can start my whole life over
change the numbers on my telephone
but the nights will sure be colder
and I'm bluer than blue
sadder than sad
you're the only life this empty room has ever had
life without you is going to be
bluer than blue
bluer than blue
bluer than blue

I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
still here we are
both of us lonely
longing for shelter
from all that we see
why should we worry
no one'll care
look at the stars
so far away
we've got tonight
who needs tomorrow
we've got tonight babe
why don't you stay
deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
all of my hopes
fading away
I've long for love
like everyone else does
but I may stop searching
after today
so there it is, girl
I've said it all now
and here we are
what do you say
we've got tonight
who needs tomorrow
we've got tonight babe
why don't you stay
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
still here we are
both of us lonely
both of us lonely
we got tonight
who needs tomorrow
let's make it last
let's find away
turn out the light
come take my hand now
we got tonight babe
why don't you stay

Hello, yea it's been awhile
not much, how 'bout you
I'm not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you
and I was thinking maybe later on
we could get together for awhile
it's been such a long time
and I really do miss your smile
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you tonight
we could go walking through a windy park
take a drive along the beach
or stay at home and watch t.v.
you see it really doesn't matter much to me
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you tonight
I won't ask for promise
so don't have to lie
we both play that game before
say I love you to say goodbye
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you tonight
babe
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you tonight
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
and I really love to see you
tonight

You asked me if I loved you
and I choked on my reply
I rather hurt you honestly
than miss lead you with a lie
and who am I to judge you
on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you
and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides
romancing all his strategie
leaves me battling with my pride
but through the insecurity
some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
still trapped within my truths
a hesatant prized fighter
still trapped within my youth
and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides
at times I like to break you
and drag you to your knees
at times I like to break through
and hold you endlessly
at times I understand you
and I know how hard you've tried
I watched why love comands you
and I watched love pass you by
at times I think we're drifters
still searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
but then the passion flares again
and sometimes when we touch
the honesty to much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
the fear in me subsides

You ask me if there'll come a time
when I grow tired of you
never my love
never my love
you wonder if this heart of mind
will lose it's desire for you
never my love
never my love
what makes you think love will end
when you know that my whole life depends on you
you say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require of you
never my love
never my love
how can you think love will end
when I've asked you to spend your whole life with me
you say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require of you
never my love
never my love

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
the days get rainy and the nights get long
when you get that feeling you were born to lose
staring at your ceiling
thinking of your blues
when there's so much trouble that you want to cry
the world has crumbled
and you don't know why
when your hopes are fading
and they can't be found
dreams have left you waiting
friends have let you down
just remember I love you and it'll be alright
just remember I love you
more than I can say
just remember I love you
and it'll be alright
maybe then your blues will fade away
when you need a lover
and you're down so low
you start to wonder
but you never know
when it feels like sorrow is your only friend
knowing that tomorrow
you'll feel this way again
when the blues come calling
at the break of dawn
the rain keeps falling
but the rainbow's gone
when you feel like crying
and the tears won't come
then your dreams are dying
then you're on the run
just remember I love you
more than I can say
just remember I love you
and it'll be alright
