One Voice

Barry Manilow One Voice Lyrics
1.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!


2.Why Don't We Try ... A Slow Dance

Lyrics:Bruce Sussman/Jack Feldman
Music:Barry Manilow

why don't we try a slow dance
it's all going by us to fast
oh, why don't we try a slow dance
and maybe this moment will last
all night long we've been dancing
dancing too far away
all night long I've been waiting for them
to play a slow one
why don't we try a slow dance
before it all comes to a close
we'll see how it feels
and see where the feeling goes
oh why don't we try a slow dance and then
who knows
it's all goin by us to fast
and maybe this moment will last
all night long we've been dancing
dancin' to far away
all night long I 've been wateing for them
to play a slow one
why don't we try a slow dance
before it all comes to a close
we'll see how it fells
and see where the fellin' goes
oh why don't we try a slow dance
and then who knows
then who knows
who knows
who knows


3.Rain

Lyrics:Adrienne Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

gray clouds rollin'over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
all night long you're tossin' in bed
all night long I'm outa my head it's
rain
fallin' down from the sky
kissin' my love goodbye
rain fallin'down
I can't take the
rain
washin' my love away
I'm cryin' for yesterday
rain fallin' down
gray clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
don't know where this lovin' has led
why can't there be sun instead of
rain
fallin'down from the sky
kissin' my love goodbye
rain fallin'down
I can't take the
rain
washin'my love away
I'm cryin for yesterday
rain fallin' down
darlin you got to stop the rain
only you can stop the rain
only you can do it
darlin you got to stop the rain
only you can stop the rain
only you can stop it
everything is falling apart
and I don't think I can stand the rain anymore
no' no more , no more rain
no more rain
stop the rain, stop the rain from falling down
got to stop the rain from falling down
you and me babe
what we had was good
oh I knew we could have made it
I can't take this rain
falling down from the sky
kissing my love goodbye
rain fallin down
someone stop the rain
washing my love away
crying for yesterday
rain falling down
women you got to stop the rain
only you can stop the rain
only you can do it
darlin you got to stop the rain
only you can stop this rain
only you can do it
baby you got to stop the rain
only you can stop the rain
only you can help me
babe you got to stop the rain

4.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)


5.You Could Show Me How

Lyrics:Bruce Sussman/Jack Feldman
Music:Barry Manilow

I don't know how to begin
To let myself let you in
But you
Maybe you could show me
There's so much more I would say
If someone showed me the way
Like you
Maybe you could show me
I've been so used to getting what I want
Doing what I want to do
I've always been the one who took the lead
Now I find I need
I need to follow you
So won't you help me come through
My future's long overdue
It's time
I think I'm ready now
And you could show me how


6.I Don't Want to Walk Without You

Lyrics:Frank Loesser
Music:Jule Styne

I don't want to walk without you , baby
walk without my arm about you , baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
but now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine
oh baby, please come back
or you'll break my heart for me
cause, I don't want to walk with out you
no siree
I don't want to walk with out you,baby
walk with out my arm about you , baby
I though the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
but now I find
that I don't want to walk with out the sunshine
why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine
oh baby, please come back
or you'll break my heart for me
cause I don't want to walk with out you
I don't want to walk with out you
no siree


7.Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed

Lyrics:Marty Panzer
Music:Barry Manilow

something's in the air
I answer the phone and there's nobody there
and your changin' the way that you're wearin your hair
and I wonder
yes I wonder
something's on my mind
the letters you get, cigarettes that I find
and you know I have to be left ,dumb and blind
not to wonder
not to wonder
who's been sleeping in my bed
gettin' what I get
when I don't get it
who's been sleeping in my bed
yeah, thats what I said
I just don't get it
who's been sleepin'
who's been sleepin' in my bed
little things I miss
the ring on your finger, the fire in your kiss
how the hell could the love that we had come to this
and I wonder
yes I wonder
I don't understand
the paperboy winks at the telephone man
and the milkman he smiles when he's shakin' my hand
and I wonder
yes I wonder
who's been sleeping in my bed
gettin'what I get
when I don't get it
who's been sleeping in my bed
yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
who's been sleepin'
who's been sleepin' in my bed
who's been sleeping in my bed
gettin' what I get
when I don't get it
who's been sleepin' in my bed
yeah, that's what I said
I just don't get it
who's been sleepin'
who's been sleepin in my bed
who's been sleepin' in my bed
who's been sleepin' in my bed
who's been sleepin' in my bed
who's been sleepin' in my bed
who's been
you got to tell me
you got to,got to,got to got to tell me,come on
hell I could see it your eyes that you've been seein' other guys
tell me who's been sleepin' in my bed
cause when I come back home I know you haven't been alone
now tell me who's been sleepin' in my bed
ah somethings in the air, you know I fell it everywhere
because the little thinks I miss ,I miss the fire in your kiss
tell me who's been sleepin' in by bed
( fade out)


8.Where Are They Now

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Kerr

Outside the sky is water color grey
Newspaper says to look for rain today
No one around for company
And so I turn to memories to pass the time away
Each face that flashes back to mind
Seems as it was untouched by time
I can't recall quite all the names
Each one is precious all the same
How strange to think
How many friends were lost somewhere behind
( Chorus )
Where are they now
How I miss those companions
Who walked the canyons of the night
By my side
Where are they now
Like so many crazy dancers
We live only for the answers in a song
But that was long ago
Where are they now
When love was new and wonderful
There was no word impossible
The future we saw with our minds
Was something of our hearts design
Between today and yesterday
Life came between us all
( Repeat chorus twice)
where are they now


9.Bobbie Lee (What's The Differencei Gotta Live)

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

her name is Bobbie Lee and she's movin
she's gotta make her dream come true
some might said she took a dead wrong turn
she took the only road she knew
there's nothin' gonna stop or stall her
and luck is on her side tonight
they're pullin over to the curb to call her
man, she loves these city lights
she says
so what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I wanna go where the apples grow
and all I need is the money
hey mister, smile and buy my time
and I don't want you fillin' funny
just think of Bonnie Lee like a busy bee
gettin by by sellin' honey
she's got this picture of her brother
that she took when she left home
she rolled her hair up like her mother
with her mother's ivory comb
she was sweet sixteen last easter
but she know how to treat you right
tomorrow she's goinna be in the movies
but she won't forget tonight
she says
so what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I wanna go where the apples grow
and all that I need is the money
hey mister, smile and buy my time
and I don't want you fellin funny
just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee
gettin' by by sellin honey
so what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta go where the apples grow
and all I need is the money
hey mister, smile and buy bye time
and I don't want you fellin funny
so just keep thinking of Bobbie Lee like a busy,busy bee
gettin' by by sellin honey


10.When I Wanted You

Lyrics:Gino Cunico
Music:Gino Cunico

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 your 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
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
When I wanted you


11.Sunday Father

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

hand in his hand though the park
all afternoon
a fine day to fly balloons or tell him a story
hand in his hand to wonder
till day is done
sunday father and son
sundays are theres to explore
alone by law
one day to keep the two from turning to strangers
one day to know the answers
be firm , be fun
sunday father and son
the father weaves though the weekend streets
sunday done, monday comin' on
he leaves the child by a modest home
that they share no more
with the woman who waits indoors
till she knows he's gone
where are the words or the games
a place to go
someway to let him know you want to be with him
somehow it's always ending
just half begun
sunday father and son
sunday father and son


12.They Gave Into The Blues

there's a women in this town
drowning in a river of her own tears
crying for a man who's name she can't remember
cause it's been to many years
made up her mind
the day he left her behind
she'd never find a man like him again
so she closed the door
and never looked any more
so of course she's been alone since then
she gave in to the blues
so you know she just had to lose
soon as she gave in to the blues
there's a man who won't try to ask her why
he says only fools even play the game
never have the breaks, the money that it takes
so he says he's not to blame
started to drink , the day he started to think
the world was out to bring him down for good
so he close the door and drank a little bit more
and went down just like they said he would
he gave in to the blues
so you know he just had to lose
soon as he give in to the blues
they give in to the blues
so you know they just had to lose
soon as they give in to the blues
no don't you give in to the blues
no,no don't you give in to the blues
no don't you give in
don't you give in'
don't you give up
don't you give out
don't you give in to the blues
no, no don't you give in to the blues
