BARRY MANILOW
Barry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus; June 17, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter and producer. He is best known for such recordings as "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)".
In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-seller charts simultaneously, a feat equalled only by Herb Alpert, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records' No. 1 adult contemporary artist, and winning three straight American Music Awards for favorite pop/rock male artist. Between 1974 and 1983 Manilow had three No. 1 singles and 25 that reached the top 40. Although not a favorite of music critics, several well-known entertainers have praised Manilow, including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s saying, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."
As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, including Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending his relationship with the hotel. Since March 2010, he has headlined at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. On July 4, 2013, he performed live on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol as part of A Capitol Fourth on PBS.
1. CAN'T SMILE WITHOUT YOU
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 have believed that you were 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 you're 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

2. THIS ONE IS FOR YOU
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
This one's so real for me
That I'm the one who cries
And 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 everything else I have
This one's for you, ohhhhh
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 ever night
If you might just miss me too
And I sing for you, I sing for you
This one's for you wherever I go
To say the things I should have said
Things that you should know
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing
Cause this ones' 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 everything else I have this ones for you...

3. IF YOU REMEMBER ME
When you remember me,
If you remember me
I hope you see
It's not the way
I want it to be
Oh, I'd be with you now,
But wherever you go
My love goes with you.
Keep on smiling
Keep on Shining
Even tho' you know you want to cry,
I tried to love you.
Looking in my eyes
You saw promises and lies
Too many times.
When you remember me,
If you remember me
I hope you see
It's not the way
I want it to be
Oh, I'd be with you now,
But wherever you go
My love goes with you.
I'll be with you.
Keep believing.
Some things even time can't come between.
And if you blame me,
Try and realize
There are promises and lies
Too many times
When you remember me,
If you remember me
I hope you see
It's not the way
I want it to be
Oh, I'd be with you now,
But wherever you go
My love goes with you, ohhh
When you remember me,
If you remember me
I hope you see
It's not the way
I want it to be
Oh, I'd be with you now,
But wherever you go
My love goes with you, ohhh
My love goes with you.

4. SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
For who am I to judge you
In what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance's an honest strategy
Leaves me grappling with my pride
But through the years insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter
Still trapped within my youth
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched whil love commands you
And I've 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...

5. LONELY TOGETHER
Your eyes are sad eyes
Mine are too
It doesn't take too much to see
What we've been through
You lost your baby
And me the same
Ain't it true how love's a hurtin' game
Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It's just my arms are empty
And the night is so cold
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
A heart that's hurtin's
Not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You'll be just fine
We can drown our achin' hearts in this glass of wine
Well I hate to say
What's done is done
It's just two can ease the pain
Much better than one
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
Love
It's such a crazy thing
All you got to give and no regrets
But love
It can live again
Stay with me tonight
I'll make it work out right
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone

6. MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
January to December
We'll have moments to remember....
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember.
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember.
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years.
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember.
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years.
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember.
We will have these moments to remember.
January to December~ we'll have moments to remember.

7. CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say, oh
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby

8. WHEN I WANTED YOU
Tho' we're going our separate ways
There can only be brighter days
'Cause I didn't mean that much to you
Work it out, don't lose the fight
You can make it turn out right
'Cause you've got the heart to be secure
When I wanted you I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I've got to turn my back on you
After all that we've been through
Leavin' you is so hard to do
But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain
What was wrong and who was right
In the end you see the light
'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own
When I wanted you
I needed you
And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
When I gave you time to make up your mind
You turned you back on me
And now I'm turnin' mine on you
Now you're on your own
How does it feel
To feel the way I used to feel
Chorus

9. KEEP EACH OTHER WARM
If you're looking for the dream you dreamed of,
open your eyes.
If you're looking for the one and only
in your life, oh darling.
If you're looking for a friend to turn to,
someone to care,
when all the world is out to hurt you,
I'll be there, oh darling.
Reach out your hand, reach out for me,
Cause I will be there and I will be
Ready to catch you if you it fall
And we'll stand tall.
chorus:
When we're blown by the wind,
torn by the storm,
we'll always find the love we need
to keep each other, keep each other warm.
Well you talk about toleration,
well I know the score,
and if you ever want liberation
there's the door, oh darling.
Living in love is bittersweet,
you've got to have faith on a lonely street.
But I'll be walking beside you
through it all, and we'll stand tall.
(repeat chorus)
(2nd chorus) come sail into my arms,
the harbor of my heart,
and trust that love is all we need to keep each other,
keep each other warm.
(repeat 2nd chorus twice)
We'll keep each other warm,
we'll keep each other warm,
we'll keep each other warm,
we're gonna keep each other warm

10-. SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT
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
Laying 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
Ill play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving so right
Closing our eyes, and feeling the light
Well 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
Laying beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you open my door
You're my song
Music too magic to end
Ill play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving so right
Closing our eyes and feeling the light
Well just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night
Well just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night.

11. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE
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...........

12. MY EYES ADORED YOU
(Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan)
(Originally by The Four Seasons)
(Chorus:)
My eyes adored ya
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored ya
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored ya
So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your books from school
Playin' "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Went our separate ways
(Chorus)
Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
And the love I left behind
(Chorus)
(My eyes adored ya)
All my life I will remember
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
(Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored ya)
Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
(So close, so close and yet so far)
I know I won't ever forget ya, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored ya)
(Though I never laid a hand on you)
(My eyes adored ya)
(Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored ya)
(Fade)
So close, so close and yet so far

13. WHEN I NEED YOU
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 heartbeat 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 travelling 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 bear
But you know I won't be travelling a lifetime
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 heartbeat away
When I need you

14. COPACABANA
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut
Just 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 eight 'til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot, north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa
They fell in love, love
Music, mu-music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa
They fell in, fell in love

15. MANDY
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through 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 you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking
And I need you today oh, Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are on my mind
And nothin' is rhyming
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!
Yesterday's a dream, I face the morning
Cryin' on the breeze, the pain is calling
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, you came and
You gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy, you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking
And I need you
