Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.

Remember Manhattan
Nothing worth a damn
Can be sifted through the brain
Sense dont make the
Man
But you insist on being sane
Dont take time to
Think
Or youre done before
You start
Theres no missing link
Cause its right there
In your heart
Take a closer look,
Theres an answer not a
Question
In that may-december line
Youll bite a bigger
Hook
Than the one you want to leave behind
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
How you gonna tell
If it stands the test of time
Theres no wishing well
That comestrue without the dime
Its a common curse
That the grass is always greener
No matter what you have
But nothing could be worse
Than to try to reproduce the past
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
Remember manhattan
What did woody say
He said, remember manhattan
Before you walk away
Lose your common sense
cause you may not get the chance again

I've lived most of my life in Manhattan, but as close as Brooklyn is to Manhattan, there are people who live there who have been to Manhattan maybe once or twice.

The Legend of `Sugar Angel`
To My Charismatic Angel
I am shocked, frightened, nervous.
Stress in high spirits, pride and fidgety.
Proud, confident and joyful that…
We are trying to build a castle from afar
To My Charismatic Angel
It worries me that our fatigue may be unproductive...
That will bring aching and heart breaking...
Pain, fear and suffering for each others love
Even though we are in love
Scratch mark in our lives everlastingly
To My Charismatic Angel
Silent we trust our faith and have confident within us
Moving towards the path of victory and sensation
To build a castle full of adore and blissful, we must
A big family we once visualize
this opportunity we must utilize
To My Charismatic Angel
Treasure this poem my dearest angel
One day we might require again
To read it another time jointly
My dearest angel our good quality karma
Will bring paradise in our way of life
To My Charismatic Angel
If our fatigue may be unproductive…
Be positive and joyful and in good spirits
To memorize our togetherness
Chat chit, teasing, laughing and defending our rights
Sensation of adore within our heart
Convey sadness and tears never ever
To My Charismatic Angel
Treasure our loneliness and pleasure
Give a name to our fate ``Sugar Angel`
Trademark it for the world to recognize
Even though we are weak we were made strong
Not because we fought a war
Not because we sing beautiful song
But just because we fell in love
To My Charismatic Angel
We can not run can not hide
All we need do is just take the ride
Where ever this road leads we do know
All we think about is the love we show
Lets lie in each others arms tonight
So we can cherish this love for the rest of our lives
Let my yes be the light that shines in your path
So we can keep this love we share alive.
To My Charismatic Angel
We began to wonder what name
We thought about it, how do we share this
Writing would be better this time
We needed a name but not for fame
Just to tell the world about this:
The legend of ``Sugar Angel`.

Book Of Brilliant Things
Thank you for the voice, the eyes and the memories shine
Thank you for the pictures of living in the beautiful black and the white
Some say well be together for a very long time
Some say that our first impressions never will lie
I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things
I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book;
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Oh, book of brilliant things
I thank you for the shadows
It takes two or three to make company
I thank you for the lightning that shoots up and sparkles in the rain
Some say this could be the great divide
Some day some of them say that our hearts will beat
Like the wheels of the fast train, all around the world
I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things
Some say we can be together for a very long time
Some say our hearts will beat like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world
Some say our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around, all around, around, around
All around the world
Our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train
A very long time
All around and all around and all around and all around the world
Some say well be together
Some say
A very long time, some of them will say
A very long time all around the world

First We Take Manhattan
Leonard Cohen)
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business, mister
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to your sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Manhattan
Summer journeys to Niagra
and to other places aggravate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan
We'll settle down
Right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten Island too.
It's lovely going through the zoo!
(Sing to me, Bette, come on)
It's very fancy
on old Delancy street you know. (I know)
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro.
I'd like to take a
Sail on Jamaica Bay with you,
And fair Canarsie's Lakes we'll view.
The city's bustle cannot destroy
Oooh, the dreams of a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
Ooh, yeah
And tell me what street
compares with Mott Street in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
Ooh, just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!

My True Friend
There are two kinds of people inhabiting this earth.
Most are valuable; a few have immense worth.
It’s not in terms of money, but so much more.
They may have riches or be among poor.
They are truly diamonds of another kind.
Just as gems they’re rare and so hard to find.
Like diamonds these few cast a brilliant glow.
Even more they spread kindness wherever they go.
Lenora, you are truly one of these very few…
You’re brilliant, kind and sensitive.
I’m so honored to know you!

April Fool So Tedious……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
Through an elite prism he sees us……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
One step short of Jesus…….,
No doubt he doesn’t need us……,
And would never heed us……,
But wants to clothe and feed us……,
Poor bare lawn, he’d even seed us…….,

Declare yourself conquerer
The Sun the Sky the Light

Come to this wonder world
Come as per your sweetwill
Sing the song as per choice
Come and go wherever you like
Worry not if you missed time
Come to this wonder world
Watching terribly as you like.

I Left My Heart In San Francisco
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

Here In Pleasantville
If you could see yourself
The way that I do
You might change
A thing or two
You wouldnt look so angry
Youd know it doesnt
Look good on you
So grab your coat
Grab your hat
There aint no saying
If were coming back
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
Do you remember
How wed stay out so late
We used to have
So much fun
We used to wish that the morning sun
Just wouldnt ever come
But look at us now
Were tucked in tight
Were just praying for a little light
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
I need to tell you now
As we leave
That its much worse
Than you would believe
And no matter how far
You think youve been
The beginning
Is where you are
So Im using my last match
To put a fire up on every hill
And burn down pleasantville
We never did learn
How to use our voices
We never thought
That wed be heard
The only way they ever listen
Is if we sream every word
Caouse theres nothing
In our walk
That just aint the kind of luck weve got
So lets move on
Cause somethings gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville

Not That Kind
All the time that we spend together
I won't fuss
I won't fight tryin to make you mine
Ha
Wooh
Ah c'mon
I said I'll love you 'til the 12th of never
But I won't run far ahead
Leaving you behind
You know I'm not that kind
'Cause I'm not that kind of girl
(Not that kind)
(Not that kind of girl)
And it's not my kind of world
(Not that kind)
(Not that kind of girl)
No it's not for me

Not where I wanna be
