1. _ Mandy
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying 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
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my eyes
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
Now I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

3. _ Stay
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 lets bring back yesterday.
CHORUS:
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 all right. 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 could be. Hold me in your arms like you did then. Make the memory live all over again.
REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES AND FADE

7. _ 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
[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 though I'm very old
[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 fine place to start
It's from me it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony
[Chorus x2]
I am music (music) and I write the songs

8. _ I'm Comin' Back
Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you madly
Can you forget all the pain
Let's try it again
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Seems like yesterday
It was you and me
How did it slip away?
You are a part of me
You live in the heart of me
I never stopped loving you
And so
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
If the answer's "no"
I will understand
But it won't change my mind
You are the only one
And I am the lonely one
I'll never get over you
And so
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you so madly
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I'm comin' back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I'm comin' back
Hopin' that you'll have me
And this time I will never let you go
I'm comin' back

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 climbin' 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've found a better life than what we had
Even now I wake up cryin' in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad
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've been gone
Even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same
And this 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 shinin' through
I swear I think of you and God, I wish you knew
Somehow, even now

11. _ New York City Rhythm
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh)
When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (ooh)
And things don't seem so bad
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I lose my blues
When the New York City rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh)
When I'm out (city rhythm) for love or sin (ooh)
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky (city rhythm) dives on the old west side (ooh)
There's always somethin' goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
Ya know that I don't care
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' through' my life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm)
(Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva
York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva
York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York Ooh!)
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh)

12. _ Can't Smile Without You
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 have 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

13. _ Riders to the Stars
Christy wants a millionaire, a miracle in the rain
Everybody's lookin' to find their heaven, never come back again
People keep searchin' up and down
Joinin' in the latest thing
And I run around lookin' for love
Waitin' for bells to ring
Riders to the stars
We are flyin', we are fallin'
And I can see the clouds rollin' by
Riders to the stars
We are sailin', we are soarin'
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars
Billy wants a fancy car, says it's just what he needs
Folks into showin', just what they're blowin'
Followin' foolish leads
And Christy wants to find her millionaire, her miracle in the rain
And I lift my head right up to the sun
Never look down again
Riders to the stars
We are flyin', we are fallin'
And I can see the clouds rollin' by
Riders to the stars
We are sailin', we are soarin'
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars
Some folks have money, and others survive
God knows, it's not easy just bein' alive
The dreamer dreams on, and dreams never die
Long as we try, long as we try
Riders to the stars
We are flyin', we are fallin'
And I can see the clouds rollin' by
Riders to the stars
We are sailin', we are soarin'
And all we can do is try
We are riders to the stars
We are riders to the stars

14. _ Bermuda Triangle
We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun
She says, "Hawaii's too expensive."
I say, "Barbados isn't bad."
She says, "I'd love to see Bermuda."
And I say, "Woman, are you mad!"
Bermuda Triangle It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle Don't go too near
But she Doesn't see my angle
And she thinks I'm being dumb
So Bermuda Triangle
Here we come!
Lying with my woman on The island sand
I look up and see her with
A stranger, hand in hand
I see her sitting on his blanket
I see them going for a swim
And when I run to find my woman
I find her running after him!
Bermuda Triangle
Makes my woman disappear
Bermuda TriangleDon't go too near
Looking At it from my angle
Do you see why I'm so sad
Bermuda Triangle Very bad!
Lying lost and lonely on
The island sand,
When a lovely stranger says
Hello and takes my hand
And soon she's sitting on my blanket
And then we're going for a swim
When I say, "what about your boyfriend?"
She turns and waves goodbye to him!
Bermuda Triangle It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle Don't go to near
But look At it from my angle
And you'll see what I'm so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle Not so bad!

15. _ Bring on Tomorrow
Sleep baby, sleep
Lose yesterday's blues
When you're ready for morning
Have I got news
Our ship's in the harbor
The street's turning gold
Whatever you're dreaming
It's no longer on hold
Dream baby, dream
While you were asleep
I had mountains to climb
And a promise to keep
Now home is the hunter
And holding the prize
I'm waiting to tell you
When you open your eyes
[Chorus]
Bring on tomorrow for me and for you
We hung on through dark hours, dawn's overdue
Bring on tomorrow and show me the sun
We'll live it together 'cause you are the one
Smile baby, smile
Through canyon's of night
But you'll really be smiling
By morning's light
They told us we're crazy
They promised I'd lose
Forgive and forget them
They're yesterday's news
[Chorus]
Without you it's nothing
Why else would I climb?
Together forever,
Hearts beating in time, oh
[Chorus]

16. _ Studio Musician
We've never met
But you know me well
I am the English horn
Who plays the poignant counter-nine
Upon the song you heard
While making love in some hotel
I am a part of you
I've never tried for fame
You'll never know my name
I am the strings that enter softly
Or three guitars that glitter gold
I am the thousand trumpet lines
That were an afterthought
Intended eyes,
The way to get a dying record sold
I never ride the road
I never play around
I played what they set down
I'm a working musician
Living from week to week
I'm the voice through each empty men
Tried to speak
A studio musician
Blowin' the chance I see
And when the woodwind coushing rises
I start to dream
With the low brass bed
But I awake the horns
The drummer calls to me
We're up the letter D
I'm a man of the moment
Pop is my stock n' trade
Singles, jingles and demos
Conveniently made
A studio musician
Whose music will die unplayed
A studio musician
Whose music could have died unplayed
