The Greatest Love Songs of All

Barry Manilow The Greatest Love Songs of All Lyrics
1.Love Is Here to Stay

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
but our love is here
Our love is here
To stay


2.The Look of Love

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so


3.Where Do I Begin (Theme from Love Story)

Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me

Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They'll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine

She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I'm never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there


4.I Only Have Eyes for You

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you


5.I Can't Give You Anything But Love

I can't give you anything but love...baby
That's the only thing there's plenty of...baby
Dream a while...scheme a while
You're sure to find....happiness and I guess
All those things you've pined for

Gee I love to see you lookin' swell...baby
Diamond bracelets woolworths' doesn't sell...baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well...baby
I can't give you anything but love

Gee I love to see you lookin' swell...baby
Diamond bracelets woolworths' doesn't sell...baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well...baby
I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love

Gee I love to see you lookin' swell...baby
Diamond bracelets woolworths' doesn't sell...baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well...baby
I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love


6.The Twelfth of Never

You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you,
I'll tell you true Until the Twelfth of Never,
I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time


7.We've Only Just Begun

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.


8.Nevertheless

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you

Somehow, I know at a glance,
the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start,
then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
and maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you

Somehow, I know at a glance,
the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start,
then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
and maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you


9.Love Me Tender

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
And we'll never part.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.


10.You Made Me Love You

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do


You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you


11.It Could Happen to You

Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble

Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me

Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me


12.How Deep Is the Ocean

How much do I love you?
Ill tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you,
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

And if I ever lost you,
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?


13.When You Were Sixteen

When first I saw the lovelight in your eye,
And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dreamt of what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.

I love you as I never loved before!
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er!
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
