One voice singing in the darkness
|
All it takes is one voice
|
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
|
And when you look around you'll find
|
There's more than one voice singing in the darkness
|
Joining with that one voice
|
Each and every note another octave
|
Hands are joined and fears unlocked
|
If only one voice should start it on it's own
|
We need just one voice facing the unknown
|
And then that one voice would never be alone
|
It takes that one voice
|
|
|
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
|
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
|
|
|
|
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
|
Maybe the old lines will sound new
|
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
|
Maybe old feelings will come through
|
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away
|
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay
|

|
We're goin' hoppin' (Hop)
|
we're goin' hoppin' today
|
where things are poppin' (Pop)
|
the Philadelphia way
|
we're gonna drop in (Drop)
|
on all the music they play
|
on the Bandstand (Bandstand)
|
We're goin' swingin' (Swing)
|
we're gonna swingin' the crowd
|
and we'll be clingin' (Cling)
|
and floatin' high as a cloud
|
The phones are ringin' (Ring)
|
My mom and dad are so proud
|
I'm on Bandstand (Bandstand)
|
And I'll jump, and hey, I may even show 'em my handstand
|
because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
|
when we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstand
|
what a swinger I am, I am on American Bandstand
|
|
|
I don¡¯t want to walk without you baby
|
|
I don't want to walk without you, Baby
|
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
|
|
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me
|
'Cause I don't want to walk without you
|
No, siree
|
|
|
|
Last night, I waved goodbye, now it seems years
|
I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear
|
But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near
|
And tell me
|
When will our eyes meet?
|
When can I touch you?
|
When will this strong yearnin' end?
|
And when will I hold you again?
|
|
|
|
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, Somehow
|
|
|
|
I saw you at the Beechwood Cafe
|
You looked at me and then you looked away
|
That was some kind
|
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
|
You said you had places that you had to be
|
Now who is gonna be there for me
|
That was some kind
|
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
|
Lady that was some kind
|
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
|
Baby that was some kind
|
Some kind of friend you turned out to be
|
|
(City rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo, city rhythm, oo)
|
|
When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (oo)
|
By the love I wish I had
|
Well, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (oo)
|
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

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)

The hottest spot north of Havana (here)

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
|
Music and passion were always the fashion
|
At the Copa....they fell in love
