Twenty Four Hours A Day
MUSIC BY BARRY MANILOW
LYRICS BY MARTY PANZER
I was gonna see the world one day
Maybe be a movie star
Or buy a quiet house, down by the bay
And write about the way things are
But the way things are right now
I can hardly write my name
And I've lost my taste for the wanderin' ways
For fortune and for fame
Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
All the other dreams I've had
Have faded away
Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
If you want to be with me
Then here's where I'll stay
I was gonna save the human race
Find my place in history
Or sail away one day far out in space
And live a life of mystery
But the mystery to me
Is the life I've lived before
And the place for me isn't history
It's with you forever more
Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
All the other dreams I've had
Have faded away
Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
If you want to be with me
Then here's where I'll stay

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
(burt bacharach / hal david)
Dearest, darlin
I had to write to say that I wont be home anymore
For something happened to me
As I was driving home
And Im not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I saw the welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel
He was there
And so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
He took me to the cafe
And he asked me if I would stay
I said okay
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play
And nighttime turned into day
As we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight
And then he kissed me, caressed me
Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But Ive found somebody new
What can I do?
And I could never, never, never go home again

Stay '81
Verse:
Am I just dreaming or did you walk through my door?
Do you still feel the same way that you did before?
Did you come to bring me sorrow?
Like all those wasted days
Let's not think about tomorrow
You can stay
Am I just dreaming or did you say you have to go?
If you can't stay forever, I don't wanna know
There's no need to talk about it
The way things used to be
I'm not living here without you
(Chorus:)
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
(repeat)
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
Am I just dreaming?
(verse)
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
(repeat)
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'

Hey Darlin Darlin
Hey darlin darlin gonna say it true
No one understands me like you do
I got the story when I was a child
I took me over and turned me wild
Only to make it true
But when Im alone all alone
No one home, the tv and the phone
Still say it will rain today
O.k.
Hey darlin, darlin help me understand
What went wrong with the peaceful plan
Was it bold?
I aint wishing for what used to be
I only hope that you and me can keep hold, unsold
When you go t no history, youre free
You sing and you believe so strong
You hold out fast and long, so long
Now the latest is the greatest is their plan
But they didnt make us and they cant break us
Darlin, darlin I dont think they can
Darlin, darlin I dont think they can
Hey darlin, darlin hows it gonna be?
I love to hear what you sing to me

Twenty Four
Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
Twenty four reasons to admit that Im wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong
See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I wan to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me
I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.

Let's Get On With It
By: Barry Manilow & Adrienne Anderson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatcha gonna do with my time darlin
Whatcha gonna do with my soul
When ya gonna make up your mind about me
What do you still need to know
When are ya gonna walk out the door forever
Where are ya gonna run and hide
Darlin cant ya see that its now or never
Say youre gonna stay or say good-bye.
But lets get on with it
Lets get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either forward or else its backward
But nothing ever stands still
So lets get on with it.
Whatcha gonna do with the hope inside you
Whatcha gonna do with your dreams
How ya gonna live with all those memries
Wonderin how it might have been
All Im askin is to keep on tryin
All ya gotta do is hold on
No ones gonna guarantee tomorrow
But its gonna be here before too long
So lets get on with it
Lets get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either forward or else its backward
But nothing ever stands still
So lets get on with it.

End Of The World
(eric carmen)
Things are so wrong
I know how hard it must seem
But honey, I need you beside me now
People get angry
They say things they dont mean
Were gonna make it work somehow
Whoa, and darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Love isnt easy
And theres no guarantee
Everything has to turn out right
We got each other
And thats all that we need
That and the way we feel inside
Whoa, and darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, darlin

As long as you need me
As long as you need me

As long as you love me

I Love You
When the night has come
And I'm all alone
And I have some time to breathe
So much damage done
I guess nobody won
Is it too late to make you see
I love you
Oh darlin' yes I really do
I love you
Oh darlin' yes I really do
I know very well
How it got this way
I was drifting on my cloud
There isn't much to tell
Except you've gone away
Darlin' now I'm reaching out
I love you
Let me show you how I really do
I love you
Oh darlin' you gotta know it's true
I wish that I had you now
The way that I had you then
Darlin' I'd take you and hold you and kiss you
Over and over again
Maybe we can try
To get back to that place
When passion made us wild
No more alibis
Standing face to face
You will see it in my eyes
I love you
Oh my darlin' you know it's true
I love you
Let me tell you how much I really do
Oh darlin' you know I really do
Oh darlin' yes I really do

My Darling
Go back to sleep now
My darlin
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say
Because we made you
My darlin
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darlin
Right from the start
Grow up now
My darlin
Please don't you grow up too fast
And be sure, darlin
To make all the good times last
Because we made you
My darlin
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darlin
Right from the start

Guilty
Yes baby, Ive been drinkin
Shouldnt come by anymore
But I found myself in trouble darlin
And I have no place else to go.
I got some whiskey, from a bottle
Got some cocaine, from a friend
And I had to keep on movin darlin
Till I was back in your arms again.
And Im guilty, I am guilty
And Ill be guilty for the rest of my life
How come Im never gonna do
What Im supposed to do
Seems like everything I do
Never turns out right
Thats how it is with me darlin
You know I just cant stand myself
But it takes a whole lot of medicine darlin
For me to pretend that Im somebody else.

Dont Bring Me Down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to
But oh, oh no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
The sacrifices I will make
Im ready to give as well as take
Something I need is your respect
Something I cant take is your neglect
And more than anything I need your love
Until its easy to rise above
And oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, dont hurt me
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
Do the things that you want me to
But oh, oh, no

Do you remember how we used to be
Before we lost the dream of you and me
From the very start you took my breath away
So tonight let's bring back yesterday
Darlin' stay
Why don't you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love till the morning light
Baby stay
I can make everything alright
Just tell me what to say
'Cause I really don't want you to go
You used to laugh and say sweet things to me
You made me happy as a man can be
Hold me in your arms like you did then
Make the memory live all over again
Darlin' stay
Why don't you be with me tonight
Stay
We can make love till the morning light
Baby stay
I can make everything alright
Just tell me what to say
'Cause I really don't want you to go

Let's Keep It Between Us
by Bob Dylan
Let's keep it between us.
These people meddlin' in our affairs, they're not our friends.
Let's keep it between us
Before doors close and our togetherness comes to an end.
They'll turn you against me and me against you 'til we don't know who to trust.
Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Let's keep it between us.
We've been through too much tough times that they never shared.
They've had nothing to say to us before,
Now all of a sudden it's as if they've always cared.
All we need is honesty, a little humility and trust.
Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
I know we're not perfect
Then again, neither are they
They act like we got to live for them as if there just ain't no other way
And it's makin' me kind of tired.
Can we just lay back for a moment
Before we wake up and find ourselves in a daze that's got us out of our minds?
There must be something we're overlooking here,
We better drop down now and get back behind the lines.
There's some things not fit for human ears, some things don't need to be discussed.
Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
They'll tell you one thing and me another
'Til we don't know who to trust.
Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Let's keep it between us
Before it all snaps and goes too far.
If we can't deal with this by ourselves,
Tell me we ain't worse off than they think we are.
Backseat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel, but they sure know how to make a fuss.
Oh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Can we keep it between us?

Twenty-four Seven
(j.b. rudd/vip vipperman)
Ive got this craving around the clock
And its got a hold on me
Ive had it bad since the moment we met
I cant get no relief
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Every night when I go to sleep
In my dreams there you are
Youre the first thing I think about
And thats how the morning starts
It seems like everything I say and do
Is all about me being in love with you
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me

When I Grow Up
When i grow up to be a man
Will i dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will i look back and say that i wish i hadn't done what i did?
Will i joke around and still dig those sounds
When i grow up to be a man?
Will i look for the same things in a woman that i dig in a girl?
(fourteen fifteen)
Will i settle down fast or will i first wanna travel the world?
(sixteen seventeen)
Now i'm young and free, but how will it be
When i grow up to be a man?
Oooooo ooooooo oooooooo
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(eighteen nineteen)
When they're out having fun yeah, will i still wanna have my share?
(twenty twenty-one)
Will i love my wife for the rest of my life
When i grow up to be a man?
What will i be when i grow up to be a man?

First In Line
(words & music by schroeder - weisman)
When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darlin my darlin
You were the first in line
When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darlin my darlin
You were the first in line
There may be others
That know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But theres no other
Could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Dont refuse me, say youll choose me
Im yours, oh please be mine
My darlin say Im your darlin
The first, and the last in line

Twenty Four Seven
Some folks say theres a price on love
Watch your freedom go watch your freedom go
Just cant breathe when youre hand in glove
Watch your freedom go baby I dont know
But how can they mean it
How come they give it up
How long until they see
The modern laws of lovin dont apply to me
Chorus
Twenty four seven stay here with me
Twenty four seven throw away the key
Twenty four seven I dont wanna be free
You get by if you kiss and tell
Hear the people say hear the people say
Two strong hearts gotta share one cell
Hear the people say but it aint my way
How can they mean it how come they add it up
Ill give my heart and my soul if loving you is prison I dont need parol
Chorus
Twenty four seven stay here with me
Twenty four seven throw away the key
Twenty four seven I dont wanna be free free free
Twenty four seven around the clock
Twenty four seven I never want it to stop
Twenty four seven mmmm here with me
Im gonna count the time
That youre gonna be mine
Seven days a week
Twenty four hours aint enough for me
How can they mean it
How come they add it up
Im gonna give my heart and my soul if loving you is prison I dont need parol
