  • Oh my love
    You were the only one
    Now you're gone and I'm alone
    All my friends
    They say what's done is done
    I pretend
    But deep inside I know

    If I should love again
    If I find someone new
    It would be make-believe
    For in my heart
    It would be you
    And though I hold her close
    And want her now and then
    I'll still be loving you
    If I should love again

    All day long
    I keep remembering
    All the night
    I think of you
    All my life
    You'll be the song I sing
    I'll get by
    But this I swear is true

    If I should love again
    If I find someone new
    It would be make-believe
    For in my heart
    It would be you
    And though I hold her close
    And want her now and then
    I'll still be loving you
    If I should love again

  • Belinda "bo" Floyd from Birmingham, AlI am a HUGE fanilow. I have LOVED Barry Manilow since I was 17 yrs old and I would actually give my life to meet him. I'm 10 yrs younger than he is but I am not too proud to BEG whoever is seeking this comment to help me to meet him. What do I need to do to make this happen. I've been to 2 concerts in the past year and am waiting to attend the next one. Do you have any suggestions?
