the manhattans - kiss and say goodbye

This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye!)

Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye!)

Hmmmm
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kissand say goodbye

the manhattans - forever by your side

Friends, we started out as friends
Friends turned into lovers
Do you remember when

I held you
For the very first time
Love me it is so easy girl
For me to speak my mind

I've said:
I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Now we see our love has grown
And these have been the sweetest times
That I have ever known
And I know that it will never end,
'Cause every time I look at you,
I fall in love again

I want you (want you)
I need you (need you)
Oh girl how I believe in you (you?re the light)
You're the light (that shines)
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Longer than the sun will shine,
Love is a tie that binds, forever, forever
Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally
Together (together), forever, forever

I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Feeling low,
I guess it's just my luck to be this way
Do you really have to go?

Spending my nights in bars and having fun
And i'm leaving you home alone
When i should have been there getting my own work done.

Do you really mean goodbye

And i realise that i couldn't stand the pain
And all, all this talk about leaving

But give me one more try
And girl never again will i go astray.

Do you really mean goodbye

Waiter? Can we have the same table we had yesterday?

Here we are again sipping our drinks just like friends
I wonder if they see the sparkle in your eyes
I wonder if they know that I am not your guy hmm
I wonder if they see that you don't belong to me
Wish that you were mine (mine all mine)

It'll be hard for him to understand
I am his friend and he is your man
I wonder what my lady would say
If she knew I bet you everyday
Sooner or later don't you know
They go find out that they're haters
Wish that you could be mine (mine, all mine)

It's 2 a.m. the place is gonna close
The bartender looks as though he knows
Everybody's, everybody's made it home
Here we sit together all alone

Special lady
The Manhattans

You must be a special lady
(Billy, you sing the first verse)
[Come on, Herb, sing, sing it, man]
And a very exciting girl
(Al, bring that bass out, man)
[Hey man, I'll bring it out a little bit more)
You gotta be a special lady
(Let's get down once more, come on)
'Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world

Somehow I knew it would be you
To change my gray skies to blue
And it was strange when you called my name
Ever since that day I haven't been the same, ooh

Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (Pop) went the reason in my mind

A sweet special lady
And a very exciting girl (ooh, so exciting)
You gotta be a special lady (what a lady)
'Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world

I was like a song so out of key
Then you came and gave my soul a melody
Thanks to you, for pullin' me through
I've always lost but now I win with you

Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (pop) went the reason in my mind

(You must be a special lady) you're a lady
(And a very exciting girl) so exciting, woo
(You gotta be a special lady) you're a lady
('Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world)
Oh, sittin' on top of the world
You're a lady
(Sittin' on top of the world)
(Sittin' on top of the world)

Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (Pop) went the reason in my mind

the manhattans - oh girl

Oh, girl
I'd be in trouble if you left me now
?Cause I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how

Oh, girl
How I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time you would always be

All my friends call me a fool
They say, ?Let the woman take care of you?
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But even the crowd can't help me now, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...

Oh, girl
Tell me what am I gonna do
I know I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place, oh, yeah...yeah...

Don't know where to go, who to see, yeah

Oh, girl
I guess I better go
I can save myself a lot of useless tears
Girl, I've gotta get away from here

Oh, girl
Pain will double if you leave me now
?Cause I don't know where to look for love
And I don't, I don't know how

Oh, yeah
Mmm...hmm...

Oh, girl
Why do I love you so, yeah
Mmm...
Better be on my way, I can't stay

Have you ever seen such a helpless man
Oh...oh...no...

the manhattans - am i losing you

Your arms don't go around me, when I reach out for you
And your eyes don't hold the fire, that they once used to do
Little signs of distance, (little signs of distance)

A million to one, but I found love here in the warmth of your
arms
Million to one (a million to one) yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa...

A million to one, but I found love here in the warmth of your
