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
|

| If I could find the words then I would wri |
