If I Should Love Again

Barry Manilow If I Should Love Again Lyrics
1.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


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.If I Should Love Again

Lyrics:Barry Manilow
Music:Barry Manilow

Oh my love
you were the only one
now you're gone and I'm alone
all my friends
they say what's done is done
I pretend
but deep inside I know
CHORUS:
If I should love again
if I find someone new
it would be make-believe
for in my heart
it would be you
and though I hold her close
and want her now and then
I'll still be loving you
if I should love again
all day long
I keep remembering
all the night
I think of you
all my life
you'll be the song I sing
I'll get by
but this I swear is true
REPEAT CHORUS


4.Don't Fall In Love With Me

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Barry Manilow

She was just a girl who knew the way
I was so naive
everything she ever said to me
I wanted to believe
I was close to too far gone
when she sat me down and
told me tenderly
CHORUS:
Don't fall in love with me
I'll only break your heart
for us forever is just tomorrow
don't fall in love with me
don't let the fire start
if you should fall
I'm afraid I'll follow you
Now I'm on the other side of love
lookin' right at you
there you are so young and sure
your life has room enough for two
so it's up to me to try and say
words that didn't stop me yesterday
REPEAT CHORUS


5.Break Down The Door

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Bob Gaudio/Barry Manilow


6.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


7.No Other Love

Lyrics:Adrienne Anderson/Barry Manilow
Music:Barry Manilow

There were no violins
there were no soft guitars
hot summer love under the city stars
I was Mr. Dynamite
and you were my only girl
we held each other through the night
caught in the whirl
CHORUS:
No other love
in all of the world
in all of my life
there was no other love
There was no fireside
no Beaujolais for two
winter was cold but we had me and you
all the words we used to say
all the crazy plans we made
we were so naive that way
so unafraid
REPEAT CHORUS
I don't know where it went
turned into yesterday
time comes and goes like music in a play
looking back I still don't know
why we ever had to end
and it's so hard letting go
of what we had then
REPEAT CHORUS


8.Fools Get Lucky

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Barry Manilow

When I see you lying there
like a living answered prayer
there are no words
for what I feel for you
my life was once a high trapeze
you pulled me down
and gave me peace
that's something to one else
could ever do
and on nights like tonight
it scares me recalling
how close I came to falling
CHORUS:
But fools get lucky
fortune must like me
when people ask where you came from
I tell them that
fools get lucky
destiny likes me
it must be one of nature's rules
love like yours
should save the fools like me
When I see the good times shine
on this wayward life of mine
I tell the world
it's all because of you
REPEAT CHORUS


9.I Haven't Changed The Room

Lyrics:Barry Manilow
Music:Barry Manilow

Here is the room that we shared
the room that you cared for
so I haven't changed the room
how did the years slip away
I could swear you're still there
for I haven't changed the room
now taht you're gone
what am I to do
so many fantasies
plans that we made
that will never come true
and I haven't changed all that much
and I'm sure you'd be proud of
the way that I came through
so if you happen to be passin' by
to make sure that you recognize it
I haven't changed the room


10.Let's Take All Night (To Say Goodbye)

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Barry Manilow

Two A.M
two of us
come sunrise I'm leavin'
you know I must
I can't bear the heartache
that's in your eyes
so
CHORUS:
Let's take all night to say goodbye
you know I want to stay
how I want to stay
let's take all night to say goodbye
'cause goodbye is hard to say
oh so hard to say
so let's take all night
smile for me
why don't we
make this the sweetest of memories
the love that we make now
is all we have
so
REPEAT CHORUS
Let's take each moment
and every desire
you make the coffee
and I'll light the fire
REPEAT CHORUS
