If I Should Love Again

By Barry Manilow

Oh my love
You were the only one
Now you're gone and I'm alone
All my friends
They say what's done is done
I pretend
But deep inside I know


Chorus
If I should love again
If I find someone new
It would be make-believe
For in my heart
It would be you
And though I hold her close
And want her now and then
I'll still be loving you
If I should love again


All day long
I keep remembering
All the night
I think of you
All my life
You'll be the song I sing
I'll get by
But this I swear is true

Repeat Chorus

If You Were Here With Me Tonight

By Barry Manilow

Sometimes late at night
When the shadows made by street lamps
Cast a darkened silver light
You'll drift into my mind
Reminding me of all I've lost
And all I've yet to find
So many things I know I should have told you
Now what I wouldn't give if I could hold you

Chorus
If you were here with me tonight
This time I'd never let it end
We'd find those feelings we once had
And feel them all again
We'd make love stronger than before
And give each other even more
And finally find a way to make it right
If you were here with me tonight
Here with me tonight

Somehow now I see
How time can soften
Even the most painful memory
Now what we had is gone
And the sooner I believe in that
The sooner I'll go on
But love like ours, comes just once in a lifetime
So I tell myself, it just wasn't the right time

Repeat Chorus

The minutes seem like hours
How long before the light of day
Helps to chase these thoughts away

Repeat Chorus

I Made It Through The Rain

Barry Manilow

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

Chorus
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it throught 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...
(Repeat Chorus)
