Even Now

Barry Manilow Even Now Lyrics
1.Copacabana (At The Copa)

Lyrics:Bruce Sussman/Jack Feldman
Music:Barry Manilow

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
but while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
across the crowded floor, he 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
Copa...Copacabana... music and passion... always the fashion...
Her name was 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,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


2.Somewhere In The Night

Lyrics:Will Jennings
Music:Richard Kerr

Time
you found time enough to love
and I found love enough to hold you
so tonight, I'll stir the fire feeling inside
until the flame of lovin' fold you
CHORUS:
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
your my song
music to magic to end
I play you over and over again
lovin' so warm, moving so right
closing our eyes, and feeling alive
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 been keeping
CHORUS:
Layin beside you lost in the feeling
so glad you open my door
you're my song
music to magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
lovin' so warm, moving so right
closing our eyes and feeling alive
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night.


3.A Linda Song

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

He never wrote a song for Linda
he wrote as though he lived alone
he wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men
inventing worlds he never know
but he never wrote a song for Linda
and she was right there all alone
love came back to life
when his luck ran low
but he never wrote a Linda song
he nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
standing by his side, through the hungry days
but he hardly seemed to see her there
and he never wrote a song for Linda
and she was right there all alone
the one real thing in his crazy world
and he never wrote a Linda song
when the bills piled up and couldn't pay
he couldn't dream no more
so he hitched a ride and he road away
and he left a not for Linda by the door
by the door
when times got rough he phone her
once or twice she took the call
then she changed her number and she turned her head
and Linda never looked back at all
he'll never write a song for Linda
and she was right there all alone
oh he knows, no one understands
and he never wrote a Linda song
no he never wrote a Linda song


4.Can't Smile Without You

Written:Chris Arnold/David Martin/Geoff Morrow

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
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


5.Leavin' In The Morning

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

I tried to tell you there's trouble on the way
I lost the feling that I once had
but when I held you there was nothing I could say
I couldn't bare to see you hurt so bad
so I'll be leaving in the morning
wishing that I could stay
and though I'll miss you every morning
it's the only way
so I'll be leaving in the morning
but how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warming
and now I don't know how to say goodbye
I tried to tell you there was something that I miss
something I couldn't dare to find with you
but I was blinded by your love every time we kissed
afraid I never find a love so true
so I'll be leaving in the morning
but how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warming
and now I don't know how to say goodbye
I waited too long but now I see
it's no good for you, it's no good for me
you can't see it now
but one day you'll know I just had to go
oh, oh, oh, oh
so I'll be leaving in the morning
wishing that I could stay
and though I'll miss you every morning
it's the only way
so I'll be leaving in the morning
but how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warming
(fade out)


6.Where Do I Go From Here

Lyrics:Parker Mckee
Music:Parker Mckee

Autumn days
lying on a bed of leaves
watching clouds up through the trees
you said our love was more than time
it's colder now, the trees are bare and the nights are long
can't get warm since you been gone
I can't stop singing sad songs

CHORUS:

where do I go from here
tell me where do I go from here
you say that you take me through the years
so where do I go from here
lovers plans, like falling leaves on windy days
flutter past and they fly away
I thought I knew you all so well
and I need you now
I need to feel you in the night
I need your smile so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE


7.Even Now

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

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 don'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
REPEAT CHORUS


8.I Was A Fool (To Let You Go)

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

after I've had my last cigarette
when the night is as black
as the nights goin to get
well I'm still wild awake
cause I still can't forget
I was a fool, to let you go
and after I've close the bar with the boys
though I can't stand the drinks
and I can't stand the noise
when I know I'll be back
cause their's no other choice
I know I was a fool, to let you go
I was a fool, to think that I could sleep a wink
in this big and deep bed by myself
and I was a fool to wate ,until it was to late
to tell you just how I felt
and after I've been with somebody new
and she know's what to say
ah but not what to do
then I know what I've lost
and I know it's so true
no I was a fool, to let you go
and after I've been with somebody new
and she knows what to say
ah but not what to do
then I know what I've lost
and I know it's so true
when I seen what I caused
and what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go


9.Losing Touch

Lyrics:Bruce Sussman/Jack Feldman
Music:Barry Manilow

I can tell something up
you havn't touched your scotch
you've been starring out the window
now your starring at you watch
and lately that's been happening to much
I think we're losing touch
is it something that I've done
or thing I never said
it's been getting pretty quiet
there on you side of the bed
remember when we used to talk so much
I think we're loseing touch
after all the love we found together
who had ever guessed , we could fall
after all the things we had in common
where they to commom after all
won't you tell me what's wrong
I haven't got a clue
is there something we can take for this
or somethink we can do
together you and I have had so much
there's so much to lose
and I think we're losing touch


10.I Just Want To Be The One In Your Life

Lyrics:Michael Price/Dan Walsh
Music:Michael Price/Dan Walsh

some people shot for the stars
dream upon dream
they long to go far
chasing their rainbow so high
wish upon wish
they'll reach for the sky
but I got one little dream
and baby that's all I want
girl it's up to you
you can make my dreams come true
CHORUS:
I just want to be the one in your life
for ever, for always
I just want to be the one in your life
for ever , for always
I don't need cheers from the crowd
to make me feel big
to make me feel proud
darlin just a little touch of your hand
is all that I need
to feel like a man
and I keep hoping each day
I'll dream my life away
girl you hold the key
to make my dream a reality
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
(FADE OUT)


11.Starting Again

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

and it started again
and I ment every word
and I like what I said
and I liked what I heard
and I started to think
I could think about starting again
we where laughing again
over memories and wine
and the years in between
didn't seem along time
when I smile she knew why
In awhile it was starting again
and I started to think
I could feel again
all the bad times seemed unreal
when she looked in my eyes
the cheating , the lies , the things that where wrong
seem far behind
and I started to think
I could care again
and my fears all disapper
when she called me by name
I knew that she changed
the flaws where all gone
the saint remained
but it started again
when I asked her to stay
and she said there's this friend who's in town just for today
and she really felt bad
but she had to be leavin again
and she left me again
as she left me before
still pretending she cared when we kissed at the door
but I saw in her eyes
that the lies where all starting again
just when I'd started to fell again
when all the bad times seemed unreal
when it all seemed so right
and I tough that tonight if she said she cared
she really might
just when my fears disapeared again
and I heard what I wanted to hear
it all started again
and I knew what that meant
it wasn't the star
it was really the end


12.Sunrise

Written:Adrienne Anderson/Barry Manilow

and so it began
as I sat by my window
all by myself in the dawn
no body else
no polite conversation
just waiting for life to come on
and I see the sunrise over the ocean
sunrise on the sea
I'm watching the sunrise
I'm glad to be living
sunrise , shine over me
I think of my life as I look out my window
people I love , places I've been
sometimes I feel I could go on forever
with nothing to lose and nothing to win
when I see the sunrise over the ocean
sunrise on the sea
I'm watching the sunrise
I'm glad to be living
sunrise , shine over me


13.No Love For Jenny

not even anbition
led her right in to the palm of his hand
not that she didn't know better
but she never been out on the streets before
lost in her anbition
she just had to know the good and the bad
so she took a apartment
and spend all the money she didn't have
no love for Jenny
she's wasting her smile
takeing a chance that it's all worth her wile
dancin for strangers
thinking she's grown up
loving so many
but no love for Jenny
fakeing dependents
kept her right on top of his list
makeing some really good money
but knowing it won't last very long
a happybirthday
what away to spend your sweet 16
saying she's 20 but looking like 30
hey what went wrong
no love for Jenny
she's wasting her smile
takeing a chance that it's all worth her wile
dancin for strangers
looking so grown up
loving so many
but no love for Jenny
