1.Ships
Lyrics：Ian Hunter
Music：Ian Hunter
We walked to the sea
Just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand
Winter cold cut the air
Hangin' still everywhere
Dressed in gray, did he say
Hold my hand
I said, love's easier when it's far away
We sat and watched a distant light
We're two ships that pass in the night
We both smile and we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night
There's a boat on the line
Where the sea meets the sky
There's another that rides far behind
And it seems you and I are like strangers
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time
He said, it's harder now, we're far away
We only read you when you write
We're two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night
We're just ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night
We're just two ships that pass in the night
and we smile when we say it's alright
we're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
(fade out)
2.Let's Hang On
Written：Bob Crewe／Denny Rendell／Sandy Linzer
There ain't no good in our goodbyein'
true love takes a lot of tryin'
ohh, I'm cryin'
CHORUS：
Let's hang on
to what we've got
don't let go girl
we got a lot
got a lotta love between us
hang on
hang on
hang on
to what we got
you say you're gonna go and call it quits
gonna check it all and break
our love to bits
break it up
(I wish you'd never said it)
break it up
(Oh, no we'll both regret it)
that little chip of diamond on your hand
ain't a fortune baby but you know it stands
for the love
(a love to tie and bind ya)
such a love
(we just can't leave behind us)
baby
don't you go
think it over and stay
REPEAT CHORUS
there isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd pay any price to get in good with you
patch it up
(give me a second turnin')
patch it up
(don't cool off while I'm burning)
you've got me cryin' dyin' at your door
don't shut me out
ooh let me in once more
open up
(your arms I need to hold you)
open up
(your heart, oh girl I love you)
baby
don't you know
baby
don't you go
think it over and stay
REPEAT CHORUS
3.Ready To Take A Chance Again
Lyrics：Norman Gimbel
Music：Charles Fox
You remind me I live in a shell,
Safe from the past,
and doing' okay,
but not very well.
No jolts, no surprises,
No crisis arises：
My life goes along as it should,
it's all very nice,
but not very good.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again,
Ready to put my love on the line with you.
Been living with nothing to show for it;
You get what you get when you go for it,
And I'm Ready To Take Chance Again with you.
When she left me in all my despair,
I just held on,
My hopes were all gone.
Then I found you there.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again
Ready To Take A Chance Again with you,
With you.
4.Read 'em and Weep
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
I've been tryin for hour just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I leave you with a letter or a firey speech
like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
and I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes
with some sense
I like to know why you gave up and threw it away
I like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
well, I can tell you goodbye or maybe see you around
with just a touch of sarcastic thanks
we started out with a bang
and at the top of the world
now the guns are exhausted
and the bullets are blanks
and everything's blank
CHORUS：
if I could only find the words
then I would write it all down
if I could only find the voice
I would speak
oh its there in my eyes
oh can't you see me tonight
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep
REPEAT CHORUS
I've been whispering softly
trying to build a cry up to a scream
we let the past slip away
and put the future on hold
now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
and I've been dreaming forever
hoping something would eventually come
I saw your eyes in the dark
I felt your kiss on my lips
I traced your body in the air
'til the bodies were numb
well, I could tell you goodbye
or maybe see you around
with just a touch of a sacarcastic thanks
but now the rooms are all empty
the candles are dark
the guns are exhausted
and the bullets are blank
and everything is blank
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh it's there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
it's running silent and angry and deep
oh it's there in my eyes
and it's all I can say
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep
for all the hours we'll be spending alone
for the dreams will ignore
and all the promises we promise to keep
they won't be kept anymore
and for the magic that our bodies have made
for this blood that we've lost
and all the secrets that we somehow we betrayed
and for whatever the cost
and for the memories still alive in the bed
for the lies we believe
and all the things we will never have said
why don't you look at me
and ream 'em and weep
come on and look at me and read 'em
it's there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
it's running silent and angry and deep
it's there in my eyes
and it's all I can say
come on and look at me
and read 'em and weep
5.Somewhere Down The Road
Lyrics：John Bettis
Music：Barry Manilow
We had the right love
at the wrong time
guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time
those dreams of yours
are shining on distant shores
and if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay
but
CHORUS：
Somewhere down the road
our roads are gonna cross again
it doesn't really matter when
but somewhere down the road
I know the heart of yours
will come to see
that you belong to me
Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
it doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
you have to go our on your own
so you can find your way back home and
REPEAT CHORUS
Letting go is just another way to say
I'll always love you so
we had the right love at the wrong time
maybe we've only just begun
maybe the best is yet to come
'cause
REPEAT CHORUS
6.One Voice
Lyrics：Barry Manilow
Music：Barry Manilow
Just One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look aound you'll find
There's more than
One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
Joining with your One Voice,
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked,
If only
One Voice
would start it on its own
We need just One Voice
facing the unknown,
And that One Voice
would never be alone
It takes that One Voice.
Ba ba ba da da da da,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba da da da,
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
it takes just one voice
Just One Voice
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Shout it out and let it ring.
Just One Voice,
It takes that One Voice,
And everyone will sing!
7.The Old Songs
Written：David Pomeranz／Buddy Kaye
Candles burning
glasses are chilled and soon
she'll be by
hope and pray
she'll say that she's willing to give up
another try
and if all those plans I've made
don't melt the lady's heart
I'll put on the old 45's
CHORUS：
and maybe the old songs
will bring back the old times
maybe the old lines
will sound new
maybe she'll lay her
head on my shoulder
maybe old feelings
will come through
maybe we'll start to cry
and wonder why
we ever walked away
maybe the old songs
will bring back the old times
and make her want to stay
it's been too long since I've
seen her face light up
when I come home
it's been too many
hours I've wasted staring
at the phone
sweet old songs I'm counting on you
to brink her back to me
I'm tired of listening alone
REPEAT CHORUS
8.I Made It Through The Rain
Lyrics：Drey Shepperd／B.Sussman／Jack Feldman／B.Manilow
Music：Gerard Kenny
We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
And made it through
I made it through
9.Dirt Cheap
Lyrics：Enoch Anderson
Music：Barry Manilow
10.Memory
Written：A.L.Webber／T.S.Eliot／T.Nunn
Midnight,
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect
at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I cam smile at the old days
It was beautiful then
I remeber the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Daylight,
I must wait for a sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be
a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my day in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what
happiness is
Look a new day has begun
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days It was beautiful then
I remeber the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
