[JoanNCville]

I LOVE how you have done the lyrics to correspond with the music. It is a work of art on your part and greatly appreciated by a memory impaired person! It allows me to sing along without having to work at remembering the lyrics or where I am in the song to enjoy singing along. Greatly appreciate your work. Thank you! I used to listen to Barry when I was young and I LOVED it! Thank you again! Keep up the great work. : )

[BernieM1905]

@JoanNCville You expressed my sentiments perfectly! This is a great song, and thanks to this YT video, I can enjoy this musical hit even more! Thank you, KurtWoloch!

[mo35412]

感動しました。

[pinoybreaker23]

I wrote the song....just kidding

[charlysaxy]

i love this song..my girlfriend just melted when i sang her this song!

[MrLehnerd]

No matter who wrote are did Barry  Manilow just brings out the best vocals when he did it......so there any one see words i type do not make fun of it!

[MangDynasty]

Though performed by Barry Manilow, this was written by Bruce Johnston, of the Beach Boys. It is not about Barry Manilow, nor Bruce himself, nor Brian Wilson (also of the Beach Boys), Bruce himself said he wrote it as if the lyrics were words from God himself, who Bruce considered to be 100% of his musical inspiration.

Confusing, I know.

[boxerdogs11]

@MangDynasty That's very interesting. Makes me listen to it in a different frame of mind. Thanks for that info.

[Allestrelle]

Barry Manilow is a thief. This song was written by Beefcake the Mighty!

[Mustangloverfan]

[SpikeFancier]

Fucking beautiful,

Nuff said.

[wwibbelt]

"… We live in a world where John Lennon was murdered, yet Barry Manilow continues to put out fucking albums. God-dammit! If you're gonna kill somebody, have some fucking taste. I'll drive you to Kenny Rogers' house."

R.I.P. Bill Hicks

[MrNorm1949]

This is absolutely my favorite song by Barry Manilow. That is saying a lot, as I love all of his music.

[123Rockchild]

This song is BARRY MANILOW!

The ULTIMATE SONG WRITER AND SINGER!

[lostinthecouch]

@123Rockchild thank you!

[jewel1260]

One of my favorite Barry Manilow signature songs!

[channelonesuite]

Wow! An orchestra, chorus, and even piccolo trumpet with Barry's grand piano. REAL MUSIC.

[arcanne28]

これが、NHKの朝ドラ「おひさま」のオープニングに激似と噂の­…納得。

[moonface7007]

@gun4711



[helenedio]

i wrote a tue story book that this song can relate to. Love the song!

[SBD1138]

Today is his birthday... and mine. I feel special.

[andyt1313]

1975 blackout couples dance at the roller rink with the sparkle of rays from the disco ball piercing the darkness. Ah the memories.

[weyer69]

The lyrics seem like they are talking about Satin.

[ghodium]

@weyer69 they are

[ghodium]

lol malta vatican barry and other stuff haha

[ghodium]

keep em coming lucifer

[JohnPatrick56]

@ghodium ty, I shall

[RobertMOdell]

@ghodium Or, turn this song around, and realize the God of Abraham is the source of music.

[dancing1133]

a guy who liked me sent this song a couple of years ago. its funny how every song comes with a memorry that you wont forget. time just flys...

[teddybear63953]

wow i used to sing this for my kids when they was young now that they have grown up and left home its still a song i like to sing again and again thank you for shareing  a classic song

[musclepunched]

[osvie01]

82 people suck

[MrStvnmorris]

My mother and I used to watch him in concert and I love how he danced and sang with all he is!

[BreannaProductions]

Funny how he didn't actually write this.

[cyndic924]

@BreannaProductions This one but he wrote many others

[crackerms0100]

@BreannaProductions but he Actually sang it Aaron

[RupertWilmot]

@crackerms0100 no shit

[thisischavez]

@BreannaProductions. Is that true? Ahh, don't answer if you're right. Don't ruin my good feelings...

[JRUJR]

@thisischavez ya, lol, it was written by Bruce Johnston

[mtzguerra]

@BreannaProductions esta cancion, no fue escrita por Paul Wiliamas?

[OrtegaLasaga]

@mtzguerra Bruce Johnston (Beach Boy)

[Nacholibre1968]

And irrelevant to his success! 

[12594David]

Maybe if modern artists actually wrote their own music and chord progressions it would get better.

[kathyscv1]

Barry...REALLY....i LOVE HIM! Deeply from the depth of my soul! Barry?

[danceswithcrayons]

One of most beautiful, timeless, ageless songs of all time. Thankyou for sharing!

[mustwinder]

It's official, it is now IMPOSSIBLE to find a music video on Youtube without his name being mentioned.

[vegasdiamondstudios]

cant we just embrace barry and leave all the negatives out?

[TheMCG003]

This song makes me cry! I used to own the little '45 ! Oh ny goodness- bring back so many memories...i kuuuuv Barry! !!!! Luv ya....forever.....

[Kimchiboy08]

At work everyone has a turn to dj the stereo...this elderly guy always plays this song...haha its become catchy to the whole team....

[victoria38381]

love (C)

[iNellMen]

ohh so lovely.. the mid 70's..

[mealey100]

this music is just timeless

[JayneSalome]

bigtaxdizzle Ever heard of Barry Rotten and the Manilow Pistols???? Now that's a class act.

[marianware]

Although he is an excellent song writer himself, he didn't write this song. In fact, he almost didn't record it. I don't know about him writing the songs that make the whole world sing (although he has written a few of them), he damn sure SINGS the songs that make the whole world sing! Go Barry Manilow.

[bigtaxdizzle]

damn this song rocks!! I like punk music but can't deny Manilow is the master of melody

[longliverocknroll5]

funny thing is he didn't write this song

[JayneSalome]

New Official Lyrics.

I write the songs that get stuck in your head,

I write the songs that make you wish you were dead,

I write the songs that make the whole world sick,

It's widely rumored I'm a chick.

Gotta laugh at yourself eh Barry ???!!!

[aixelsydyslexia]

A song dedicated to music. How awesome is that?

[jewmystery]

Gay or Straight with Barry Manilow you can not hate

[keon831]

People always think I'm weird. My favourite show is fresh prince of bel air, i love Barry manilow and I sing to genesis.

Oh, and i'm fourteen.

[musicforskippy]

man what happended to music when actual part of the person who made it went with it now it is just bout sexuality and such... the world of music is a disgrace

[mapofyourheadmuse]

I heard the guy from the beach boys wrote this, but I don't know for sure.

I absolutely looooove Barry Manilow, and I don't care if people think it's weird cuz Im 19 years old XD <3 <3

[mxkxylplk]

thank you for sharing this. Very beautiful music

[LDKBBAB]

Thumbs up if Two and A half Men brought you here,

[boxergrrl17]

This song reminds of my mom--she had every Barry Manilow 8 track. I must be getting old

[apollojrs78]

[ghettoblasta9]

Two and half men

[ChantalleRielly718]

Rip the audio from this track at tubepull doht cohm.

[MrDerfinator]

I write the songs that make the whole world suck...........

[DrKenUKUS]

Lovely song, and talented man.. Funny enough, I read a few comments about who actually wrote this song. Nobody here is correct though. In fact, I am the only person on the planet who knows where Mr M and his predecessors derived this melody from. I bet anyone to tell me and I'll send them a prize in the post. We are going to air it soon and it will surprise many BM fans - we're forming a coupe d'etat against Mr B for writing the songs... :p

[ilovemichael11000]

@DrKenUKUS Bruce Johnson wrote this song...

[IL1KE2COMM3NT]

76 people are Justin Bieber fans.

[Banderuola66]

I LOVE BARRY !!!!!!!! GREAT SONG !!!!

[henryhomman]

Ya quisieran ustedes tener un Sergio Denis. Basta de plagiar artistas latinos, gatos, ahora vamos a bajarles el Yanquis Stadium.

[SloanGreatWall]

He sounds so conceded singing this. I write the greatest songs ever and blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately, he is totally right! (Or is he 'write?') BARRY< MORE BARRY!

[vsandsbury01]

Love this song!

[fazer990]

I'm not degrading this song by any means, it is still a brilliant song, but I'm just saying that it goes down well when a normal person gets up and sings it.

[dangermouse67]

[cockywatchman1976]

@dangermouse67 actually 79 dislike....oh, 80 now I clicked. AWFUL

[cyndic924]

@dangermouse67 You tell them!!!!!

[KZN7404]

I met her two years after I came back from Viet Nam. We had a good year together. But I guess sometimes you both have to move on. I'm sure we have both have other loves. I know I have. But sometimes you wonder what could have been. Thanks for getting back to me.

[KZN7404]

Christine, I don't where you are. But You are still in my heart

[XxDemon1369xX]

@KZN7404 That is so sweet, who ever you are. I am BELLA hope you find her.

[scribb7]

If my friends found out I listen to Barry Manilow it would be game over. The only thing I could hope for is a quick death.
