Could It Be Magic
Song by Barry Manilow

Spirit move me every time I’m near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find
Baby, I love you, come, come
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
And, baby, I want you, now, now
Now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Lady take me
High upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you
Build my world around you
Never leave you ’til my life is done
Baby I love you come, come
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
And baby I want you
Now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Could it be magic?
Come, come on, come on
Come oh come into my arms
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you, all of you
Baby I want you
Now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Could it be magic?
Oh come on, come on, come, oh come, oh come into my arms
Oh let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you
Now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Could it be magic?
Oh come on, come on, come, oh come into my arms
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you, all of you
Baby I want you
Now, now, oh now, now, oh now and hold on fast
Oh could this be the magic?
(Could it be magic?)

Somewhere in the Night
Song by Barry Manilow

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)
(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)
(Everyone singing, 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 (Everyone singing, 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)
It’s day-ee-ay-ee-ay break, can ya feel it (Sing it to the world, sing, sing)
It’s day-ee-ay-ee-ay break, can ya feel it (Sing it to the world, sing, sing)
It’s day-ee-ay-ee-ay break (Sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Sunshine
(Sing it to the world, sing, sing)

Barry Manilow
“I Write The Songs”

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

My home lies deep within you
And I’ve got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I’m young again, even tho’ I’m very old

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

Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock ‘n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that’s a real fine place to start
It’s from me, it’s for you
It’s from you, it’s for me
It’s a worldwide symphony

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

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

I am music and I write the songs

Even Now
Barry Manilow

Even now
When there’s someone else who cares
When there’s someone home who’s waiting just for me…
Even now I think about you as I’m climbin’ up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won’t see…
That even now…
When I know it wasn’t right
And I found a better life than what we had
Even now I wake up cryin’ in the middle of the night
And I can’t believe it still could hurt so bad…
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 how I wish you knew…
Even now…
Even now…
When I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you’ve been gone
Even now I still…

I know you want to see your mom, but I would wait for an all clear signal. If there is a chance you can get the vaccine beforehand, that certainly would help with your final decision. As for flying, not sure of that one. You are breathing the same air. You will also need to wear your mask from the time you enter the airport until you reach the destination and then some. Some people find that rather difficult. Me, I would rather travel by car. Take my time on the road and try to be safe. I just do not want you to get Covid. Some have been lucky others not so.

The games on line are fun for relaxation and just getting away from things for a few minutes. I also have a Kindle and do jigsaw puzzles. If you are into something like this the setup is free through Amazon. along with puzzles to get you started. I end up doing these in the wee hours of the morning when I either am wide awake or cannot get to sleep. If you have an android or cell you may be able to download if you are interested. There are word games as well. Anyway, hope to see you in Trivia.
