“I made it through the rain and found myself respected by the others who got rained on too” — Barry Manilow 1980
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
You Don’t Mess Around With Jim…
Uptown got it’s hustlers
The Bowery got it’s bums
42nd street got big Jim Walker
He’s a pool shootin’ son of a gun
Yeah, he’s big and dumb as a man can come
But he’s stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim boss, just because
And they say
Play me… / Neil Diamond
She was morning
And I was nighttime
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said, “Come take me”
For I was lonely
In need of someone
As though I’d done someone wrong somewhere
But I don’t know where
I don’t know where
Come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me
Song she bring to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
