1.Could It Be Magic

Lyrics:Adrienne Anderson/Barry Manilow
Music:F.Chopin/Barry Manilow

Spirit move me
every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Sweet Melissa,
angel of my life time,
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
hight upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you,
build my world around you,
Never leave you till my life is done
Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
and baby I want you,
now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
now could it be magic
Come, come on,come on
come oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
Could it be magic
come, come on,come on,come,oh come onto my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
Could it be magic
come, come on,come on,come,oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,now oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.


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 you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin' beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened 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
Closin' our eyes and feelin' alive
We'll just go on burnin' bright
Somewhere in the night

You'll sleep when the mornin' comes
And I'll lie and watch you sleepin'
And you'll smile when you dream about the night
Like it's a secret you've been keepin'
Layin' beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You're my song, music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Lovin' so warm, movin' so right
Closin' our eyes and feelin' alive
We'll just go on burnin' bright
Somewhere in the night

We'll just go on burnin' bright
Somewhere in the night!!

(We'll just go on burnin' bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We'll just go on burnin' bright)

FADE
(Somewhere in the night)


3.Jump Shout Boogie

Lyrics:Barry Manilow/Bruce Sussman
Music:Barry Manilow

well not to long ago in 1944
when every mothers son was going off to war
they had to lift there spirits high
for uncle sam ,mother hood and apple pie
instead of spending money that they didn't have
in hot spots in the Bronx
they went to here the kind of jazz
you hear in funkie hunkie tonks
CHORUS:
it made you want to
jump, shout knock your self out
the boggie-woggie beat is what I'm talking about
if you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
to the boggie-woggie music of piano man will play
and you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
the boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
you could pull a switcheroonie if your belts go down
with the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's going to town
it had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
the plinkin' and the pluckin' drove 'em off the wall
and they would dance and drink their gin
and when the fuzz buzz they joined in
so everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'cause that's what boggie's for
and everynight that dump will jump
and keep them coming back for more
because they make you wanna....
REPEAT CHORUS
it made you wanna jump, shout
who wanna jump, shout
you wanna jump, shout
to the boogie-woogie music of a piano man was playing
you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
the boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
you could pull a switcharoonie if your belts go down
to the boogie-woogie beat of piano (laughter)
shake it yes, yes, yes (repeat 8x till fade)


4.Weekend In New England

Lyrics:Randy Edelman
Music:Randy Edelman

Last night I wave goodbye
now its seems years
I'm back in the city
where nothing is clear
but thoughts of me holding you
bringing us near
and tell me
CHORUS:
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
who's end must now end
and tell me
REPEAT CHORUS
I feel the change coming
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring
I feel my blood flow
with you I could bring out
all the love that I have
with you there's a heaven
so earth ain't so bad
and tell me
REPEAT CHORUS AND END


5.All The Time

Lyrics:Barry Manilow/Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

All the time I thought
there's only me
crazy in a way
that no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
if someone would have said you're not alone
all the time I thought
that I was wrong
one thing to be me,but needing to belong
If I had just beleaved in all I had
If someone would have said you're not so bad
all the time, all the wasted time
all the years, waiting for a sign
to think I had it all
all the time
all the time I thought
there's only me
crazy in way that no one else could be
I can't believe that you where somewhere too
thinking all the time there's only you
all the time, all the wasted time
all the years, waiting for a sign
to think I had it all
all the time


6.This One's For You

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

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 fantasy to lies
but this one 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
where ever you are
to say that nothing's been the same
since we've been apart
this one's for all the love we once knew
like every think else I have
this one's for you ohhhhh
I've got it all it seem
for all it mean to me
but I sing of think I miss
and thinks that use to be
and I wonder every night
If you might just miss me too
and I sing for you
I sing for you
this one's for you
where ever I go
to say the thinks I should have said
thinks that you should know
this one's to say that all I can do
is hope that you will hear me sing
cause this one's for you ohhhh
this one's for you
where ever you are
to say that nothin been the same
since we been apart ohhhh
this one's for all the love we once knew
like every think else I have
this one's for you
(fade out)


7.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


8.Beautiful Music

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

Before I knew that I was blessed
when I was just like the rest of the people
who never let dreams in their minds
music would play and say
maybe you're wastin' your time
Before I knew what good could be
when I couldn't see the need or the reason
for trusting in me or my star
music would play and say
hey, what a dummy you are?
CHORUS:
And when I heard all the words about passion
singin' to me about love of a fashion that I never heard
anywhere else
that's when I said, 'Gotta get some of that for myself'
and when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
beautiful words about beautiful feelings
what lots of believin' could do
beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You're beautiful
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Beautiful Music
Before I saw my life in lights
when I couldn't taste the nights I was missin'
I'd listen alone in my bed
and music would sing to me things no one else even said
REPEAT CHORUS
And now I laught an dnow I cry like a baby
livin' and lovin' each day
and just maybe
for all the good things that came true
beautiful music
the best of my blessings is you
you're beautiful
beautiful music


9.I Write The Songs

Lyrics:Bruce Johnston
Music:Bruce Johnston

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
CHORUS:
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
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 soul
now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even tho' I'm very old
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you 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 find place to start
It's from me, it's for you
it's from you, it's for me
it's a worldwide symphony
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
I am music and I write the songs
