Ready To Take A Chance Again
You remind me I live in a shell,
Safe from the past,
and doing' okay,
but not very well.
No jolts, no surprises,
No crisis arises:
My life goes along as it should,
it's all very nice,
but not very good.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again,
Ready to put my love on the line with you.
Been living with nothing to show for it;
You get what you get when you go for it,
And I'm Ready To Take Chance Again with you.
When she left me in all my despair,
I just h eld on,
My hopes were all gone.
Then I found you there.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again
Ready To Take A Chance AGain with you,

As Sure As I'm Standin' Here
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' all the moon
As sure as I'm standing here
You'll never have to be afraid
As sure as I'm standin' 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 hair combed with sunlight
full of sweet days
you say nothin' matters

All I Need Is The Girl
Once my clothes where shabby
Tailors called me cabby
So I took a vow
Said this bum'll be Beau Brummell
Now I'm smooth and snappy
Now my tailor's happy
I'm the cat's meow
My wardrobe is a-wow
Paris silk, Harris tweed
There's only one thing I need
Got my tweed pressed
Got my best vest
All I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie
Got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got rhythm
Now all I need is the girl to go with 'em
If she'll just appear
We'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say

All Or Nothing At All
All, or nothing at all
Half a love, never appeal to me
If your heart never could heal to me
Then I rather have nothing at all
All, or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry for
Something that might have been
No I rather have nothing at all
So please don't bring your lips
So close to my cheek
So don't smile or I'll be lost
Beyone recall
The kiss in your eyes
The touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell
Of your call
I would be caught in the undertoe
So you'll see

Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Miss the saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
I couldn't bare it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I visit the club
Got as far as the door
They have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Well darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But never the less
I stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Well darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But never, never the less
A baby why stir up memories

The Two Of Us
BY BARRY MANILOW AND MARTY PANZER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we're happy to sit, day after day
The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There's a reason to stay together
Now, we're happy to sit, night after night
The two of us
Conviced that it's right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together
Afraid we'd always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care
And now, it's almost enough, year after year
The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives together

I'll Be Seeing You
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mind embrases
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
And I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
Oh but
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In every thing that's light and gay

The One That Got Away
So you have finally made up your mind
Take one last look at who you're leaving behind
We lost the ending we were too late
But we took time enough to devestate
When people never say things
They lead themselves astray
[Chorus:]
Oh oh oh
The one that got away
Gave me everything
I never had
Oh oh
The one that got away
Gave me everything I never
I had no problems you had no doubts
We were the ones they used to talk about
We saw no windows we had no door
I used to wonder what the shouting's for
When people never say things
They watch their love decay

The Second Time Around
Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what led us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Who can say, what led us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Love is lovelier
Second time around

Good-Bye My Love
You look away from me again
There's really nothing to explain
Feel it in your kiss
I guess this is good-bye my love
The way I feel don't have a name
The days and nights so filled with pain
Thought that I would stay
But I gotta say good-bye my love
You used to laugh and say
If you play, play for gold
I didn't know that I would lose my heart
And soul
I didn't know
I won't regret the time we had
I'll think of you and I'll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love
I won't regret the time we had
I'll think of you and I'll be glad
But this is the end
