1. _ Daybreak
I'm singin' to the world
It's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world
Everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around
Year after year Blinded with pride
Blinded with fear
But it's Daybreak If you wanna believe
It can be Daybreak Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's Daybreak If you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world
Singin' to the world
What's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world
Don't you see it all comes around
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes
Day after day Covered in clouds
Losin' our way
Hey, but it's Daybreak If you wanna believe
It can be Daybreak Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's Daybreak If you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

2. _ The Old Songs
Candles burning
Glasses are chilled and soon
She'll be by
Hope and pray
She'll say that she's willing to give us
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
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 bring her back to me
I'm tired of listening alone
Chorus

3. _ Ships
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

4. _ Bandstand Boogie
We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand
We're goin' swingin'
We're gonna swing in the crowd
And we'll be clingin'
And floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin'
My mom and dad are so proud
I'm on bandstand
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
We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand
Bandstand bandstand bandstand
Hey I'm makin' my mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin'
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey, it's Mr.Dick Clark
What a place you've got here
Swell spot the music |
5. _ When October Goes
And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go

6. _ Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again
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 feelin' again
All around tryin' to get the feelin' again
The one that made me shiver,
Made my knees start to quiver
Everytime she walked in
And I've looked high, low,
everywhere I possibly can
but there's no tryin' to get the feelin' 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'

7. _ Mandy
I remember all my life
raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
a face through a window cryin' in the night,
the night goes into
Morning just another day;
happy people pass my way.
Looking in their eyes,
I see a memory I never realized
how happy you made me.
Oh Mandy well,
you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
and I need you today. Oh, Mandy!
I'm standing on the edge of time;
I've walked away when love was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
the tears are in my mind
and nothin' in rhyming.
Oh Mandy well,
you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
and I need you today. Oh, Mandy!

8. _ Copacabana (at The Copa)
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
she would merengue and do the cha-cha
and while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
they were young and they had each other
who could ask for more?
CHORUS:
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
the hottest spot north of Havana (here)
at the copa (CO!) Copacabana
music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa.... they fell in love
His name was Rico
he wore a diamond
he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
and when she finished, he called her over
but Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
and then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
there was blood and a single gun shot
but just who shot who?
REPEAT CHORUS
At the copa... she lost her love
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
still in dress she used to wear,
faded feathers in her hair
she sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
she lost her youth and she lost her Tony
now she's lost her mind
REPEAT CHORUS
At the copa... don't fall in love
don't fall in love

9. _ I Write The Songs
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.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special thing s.
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 sole.
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm you'g again, even though I'm very old.
Chorus
Oh my music makes you dance
and gives your 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 fine place to start.
It's from me it's for you,
it's from you, it's from me,
it's a world wide symphony.
Chorus
I am music, and I write the songs.

10. _ Even Now
Even Now
when there's someone else who cares
when there's someone home who's waiting just for me
even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
and I wonder what to do so she won't see
that even now
when I know it wasn't right
and I found a better life than what we had
even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
and I can't believe it still could hurt so bad
CHORUS:
even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
and how I wish you knew
even now
even now
when I never hear your name
and the world has changed so much since you been gone
even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same
and the pain inside of me goes on and on
even now
even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
and God I wish you knew
some how
Even now

11. _ Somewhere In The Night
Time
you found time enough to love
and I found love enough to hold you
so tonight, I'll stir the fire you feel inside
until the flames of love enfold you
layin' beside you, lost in the feeling
so glad you open my door
come with me
somewhere in the night we will know
everything lovers can know
you're my song
music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
lovin' so warm, movin' so right
closing our eyes, and feeling the light
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night
you'll sleep when the morning comes
and I'll lie and watch you sleeping
and you'll smile, when you dream about the night
like it's a secret you've been keeping
Layin beside you lost in the feeling
so glad you open my door
you're my song
music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
lovin' so warm, moving so right
closing our eyes and feeling the light
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night.

12. _ Weekend In New England
Last night, I said goodbye
Now--it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me --holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
Time in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches
--and you, by the bay
We started a story
Whose end must now wait
And, tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
I feel the change comin'
--I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring!
I feel my blood flow
With you
I can bring out
All the love, that I have
--With you there's a heaven
So earth ain't so bad
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again

13. _ It's A Miracle
You wouldn't believe where I've been,
The cities and towns I been in,
from Boston to Denver
and every town in between.
The people they all look the same,
only the names have been changed.
But now that I'm home again
I'll tell you what I believe:
It's a Miracle
a true blue spectacle,a miracle come true.
We're together baby,
I was goin' crazy till the miracle come through.
Now you're here and my arms
are around you and baby
they'll be dancin in the streets
for the miracle a true blue spectacle,
the miracle is you
I never knew you look so good.
Oh I never knew anyone could.
I must have been crazy
to every have gone away.
I almost forgot what it's like,
holdin you near me at night.
But now that I"m home again
you'll know that I'm home to stay,
cause it's a miracle a true blue spectacle,
a miracle come true.
We're together baby,
I was going crazy till the miracle come through.
I'm feeling so good,
and baby they'll be dancing in the streets
for the miracle a true blue spectacle,
the miracle is you.

14. _ Could It Be Magic
Spirit move me every time I'm near you,
whirling like a cyclone in my mind.
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime,
answer to all answers I can find.
Baby I love you, come, come,
come into my arms,
let me know the wonder of all of you,
baby I want you, now, now,
now and hold on fast,
could this be the magic at last.
Lady take me high upon a hillside,
high up where the stallion meets the sun.
I could love you, build my world around you,
never leave you 'til my life is done.

15. _ Somewhere Down The Road
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 Somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong with 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 out on your own
So you can find your way back home
* And Somewhere down the road
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 Somewhere down the road

16. _ Looks Like We Made It
There you are
Lookin' just the same as you did,
Last time I touched you
And, here I am
Close to gettin' tangled up
Inside the thought of you
Do you love him
as much as I love her
And will that love be strong
When old feelings start to stir
Looks like we made it
Left each other on the way,
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so, till today
Until you were there everywhere
And all I could taste was love
the way we made it
Love's so strange
Playin' hide and seek, with hearts
And always hurtin'
And we're the fools
Standin' close enough to touch
Those burnin' memories
And if I hold you
For the sake of all those times
love made us lose our minds
Could I ever let you go
Oh, no...we made it
Left each other, on the way
To another love
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so, till today
Until you were there
everywhere
And all I could taste was love
the way we made it

17. _ I Made It Through The Rain
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

19. _ Can't Smile Without You
CHORUS
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
you came along just like a song
and brighten my day
who would of believed that you where part of a dream
now it all seems light years away
and now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
and you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

20. _ This One's For You
This one will never sell,
they'll never understand,
I don't even sing it well,
I try, but I just can't.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to keep it in,
'Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.
I've done a hundred songs,
from fantasies to lies,
But this one's so real for me
that I'm the one who cries.
But I sing it every night,
and I fight to hide the tears,
Cause This One's For You,
This One's For You.
This One's For You wherever you are,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like This One's For You, oh.
This One's to say that all I can do
is hope that you will hea r me sing
cause This One's For You oh
This One's For You wherever I go,
to say that nothings been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have,
This One's For You oh
I've got it all,
it seems, for all it means to me,
But I sing of things I miss
and things that used to be.
And I wonder everynight
if you might just miss me too,
And I sing for you I sing for you.
