Barry Manilow Fans Unite

okay I will start.

Mandy is my favorite

Barry does write the songs...

I was watching an article about him... dude wrote tons of jingles

man I am listening to George jones now.. omg

I just found at recently that Barry Manilow didn't write "I Write The Songs", it was written by Bruce Johnston

I did not know that...WOW all these years I thought he wrote it.. That was one the first albums that I had back when they made records.. I loved that album..

Barry's crew isnt even aloud to make eye contact or look at him backstage. what a schmuck.

Hmm,strange indeed.
Your avatar reminds how great of an entertainer Freddie was.

OK i can get my Barry on!

-Artist: Barry Manilow as sung on "Greatest Hits" -Arista A2L 8601
-peak Billboard position # 23 in 1977
-Words and Music by Barry Manilow and Adrienne Anderson


I'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear

But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
SPOKEN: Play it, girl (sing it to the world, sing, sing)

Singin' to the world, what's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world, don't you see it all comes around?
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin' our way

Hey, but it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (gotta sing, sing it to the world)

SPOKEN: Ya sound great!!
(gotta sing, sing it to the world)

Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let's sing, sing it to the world)
Let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
(sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Said it's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak

Barry sings "Can ya feel it? It's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak and "Can ya see
it? It's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak" while background singers continue with (sing it to the
world, sing, sing)>

SPOKEN: "Somebody yell "one more time!" Ya may as well go all the way"


Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let's sing, sing it to the world)
C'mon and let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)

Around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing to the world!)

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
A face through a window cryin 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,
But I sent you away.
Oh, mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today. oh, mandy!

Im standing on the edge of time;
Ive walked away when love was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
The tears are in my mind
And nothin in rhyming.

Oh mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, mandy well,
Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today. oh, mandy!
