2.Trying To Get The Feeling

Lyrics:David Pomeranz
Music:David Pomeranz

Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Could ya' maybe give me something?
'cause the feelin' is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that I've been
Up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
all around.... tryin' to get the feeling again
the one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
every time she walked in
and I've looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
but there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
it seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
just to keep the lovelight burnin'
but whatever I've done I guess I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'
is I been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
all around....tryin' to get the feeling again
the one that made me shiver made my knees start to quiver
every time she walked in
and I've looked high ,and low and every where I possibly can
but there's no tryin to get the feeling again
it seemed to disapper as fast as it came
and I've been looken, I've been looken,I've been looken
I've been up ,and down and tryin to get the feelin '
I've been up ..I've been down...I've been tryin' to get
I've been tryin'..I've been tryin..I've been tryin
to get the feeling
I've been trying to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I'm going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that felling
and again...and again...and again...and again
trying to get that feeling
I been trying to get the feeling again


3.Why Don't We Live Together

Lyrics:Phil Galston
Music:Peter Thom

Why don't we live together
only the two of us, we'll learn to trust
don't have to say forever
'cause we know the rain could start and break our hearts
but we'll never find the future if we hesitate
we'll spend our life waiting
Why don't we live together taking it day by day we'll find a way
to build us a dream that's better
and still have our wings to fly it love should die
can't spend our life rehearsing all these lines of love
it's time to raise the curtain
why don't we live together whether love lives or dies
at least we know we tried
we've both been burned before
but now we know this love is sure
and there'll be no more sorrow
this love is burnin' bright it lights up tomorrow
why don't we live together takin' life's rocky ride
side by side
sailin' thru stormy weather
searchin' for sunny skies with open eyes
sharin' the tears and the laughter is the only way
we'll find the love we're after
oh why don't we live together
whether love lives or dies at least we'll know we tried
why don't we live together
whether love lives or dies at least we'll know we tryed
why don't we live together
whether love lives or dies lets take a chance lets try
(fade out)

and we'll be clingin' (Cling)
and floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin' (Ring)
My mom and dad are so proud

And I'll jump, and hey, I may even show 'em my handstand
because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
when we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstand
what a swinger I am, I am on American Bandstand

Hey I'm makin' my mark

Hey, it's Mr. Dick Clark

swell spot the music's hot here
best in the east, give it at least a seventy five!
Now for all you Joe's here goes my American handstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
As we dance real slow I'm showin' the guys in the grandstand
that I like my girl, but I love American Bnadstand

And we'll rock and roll and scroll on American
Lindy hop and slop, it's American
tune in, I'm on,

Today (Bandstand)


5.You're Leaving Too Soon

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

You're leaving too soon
you oughta try believin' just for a day or two
you're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
close the door
you're leaving too soon
you'll never learn to fly unless you learn to fall
you'll never know the answers 'till you've heard the call
you can't turn your back until you face it all
take my word
you're leaving too soon
Your leaving to soon
you oughta try believin' just for a day or two
you tryin' to be wise and that a foolish thing to do
close the door
you're leaving to soon
Babe you shouldn't go until you know just what I mean
now, 'happy ever after', I have never seen
but still we might come closer than we've ever been
come over here
You're leavin' too soon
you're leaving too soon
you oughta try believin' just for a day or two
you're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
close the door
you're leaving too soon
you're leaving too soon


6.She's A Star

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

It really doesn't matter if she suffered all she claims
you know she started somewhere and she found her way to fame
and feeding on the lonely crowd, she finally belongs
a goddess by the microphone she sings her troubled songs
She's a star
no one can tell her anymore
she'll ride as far
as the road can go
and what it costs, she oughta know
she said she'd do it
she's a star
They're hangin' on her music as it fills the concert hall
and she's teasin' them with moments, when you think she'll give
it all
but she's holdin' back the total, cause that's how she works the
spell
yeah, she likes to leave 'em hungry, yeah she loves to hear 'em
yell
She's a star
no one can tell her anymore
she'll ride as far
as the road can go
and what it costs, she oughta know
she said she'd do it
she's a star
baby your a star
and finally, the wild applause that cleans her soul and saves
she's left with no companions only enemies and slaves
she's scared again the show was slow, she felt in the fall mind
tomorrow night's already raising riot in her mind
but she's a star no one can tell her anymore
she'll ride as far
as the road can go
and what it costs, she oughta know
she said she do it
she's a star
she's a star
she's a star
she's a star


7.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


8.As Sure As I'm Standing Here

Lyrics:Adrienne Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

Sometimes I look at you
sad and so beautiful
young and alone
and so far from home
much too much for you
much too soon
empty eyes gazin' at the moon
As sure as I'm standin' here
you'll never have to be afraid
as sure as I'm standing here
I'll try and help you find your way
oh I swear, as sure as I'm standing here
you'll never need to be alone
you've got my word
as sure as I'm standing here
Sometimes I look at you
sleepin' like a baby
your hear combed with sunlight
full of sweet days you say nothin' matters
say you know how it is
did you think it would be like this?
But sure as standin' here
you'll never have to be afraid
as sure as I'm standing here
I'll try and help you find your way
oh I swear, as sure as I'm standing here
you'll never need to be alone
you've got my word
as sure as I'm standing here
Oh I swear as I'm standing here


9.A Nice Boy Like Me

Lyrics:Enoch Anderson
Music:Barry Manilow

Walkin' around
uptight
and lookin' for noise
frantic on a friday night
just one of the boys
phony defenses, they fall in my way
a case of hot Gee furnin' to stone
just a wind up poet with a chip on his shoulder
meetin' saturday mornin' alone
won't you tell me What's a nice boy like me
doin' in a place that never closes?
I can hardly hear ya'
Holy Moses
lookin' so sad
just tell me what's a nice boy like me
doin' by the dance floor after hours?
dozin over rolls of whiskey sours?
feelin' so bad
I'm feelin' so bad for me
Lost in the crowd
Alone
and drinkin' my third
I'm hungry for company, but I can't think of the words
watchin' the girls, my heart in my hands
what a misplaced, pitiful sight?
just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow
what he shoulda been sayin' tonight!
Wontcha' tell me what's a nice boy like me
doin' in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya' holy moses
lookin' so sad
now won't you tell me what's a nice boy like me
doin' by the dance floor after hours?
dozin over rolls of whiskey sours
feelin' so sad
I'm feelin' so bad for me
watchin the girls my heart in my hands
what a misplased, pitiful sight?
just a stiff upper lip who'll be knowin' tomorrow
what he shoulda been sayin' tonight
and tell me what's a nice boy like me
doin' in a place that never closes
I can hardly hear ya'
holy moses
lookin so sad
now woun't you tell me what's a nice kid like me
doin' by the dance floor after hours
dozin over roll of whiskey sours
feelin'so bad
I'm feelin so bad for me


10.Lay Me Down

Lyrics:Larry Weiss
Music:Larry Weiss

Got dust on my piano
and dishes in the sink
your side of the bed is cold
I haven't slept a wink
so I read your goodbye letter
to the face inside my drink
lay me down and roll me out to sea
Got your picture in my wallet
and some pictures in my ind
a pocketfull of memories
I never thought I'd find
and it's rainin' like a Monday
and the world seems so unkind
so lay me down and roll me out to sea
CHORUS:
Lay me down roll me out to sea
callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
lay me down
roll me out to sea
heaven if you're ready shine your light on me
Now listen to my story cause I haven't told it all
I saw her with her new love
she turned to me and called
when they asked, 'How ya' doing?'
I could crumbled like a wall
so lay me down and roll me out to sea
REPEAT CHORUS


11.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
