You Can Have It All

You can have the days beginning You can bring it to the end You can clear out of the middle Take it all with you my friend You can swing from forever after Relish in the here and now Remove all of the laughter Melt down the golden cow You can pack up all belongings Take it all away in tow The only thing I ask of you Is leave my Barry Manilow You can take the sun from out its cradle Remove the stars at night Set to dry the gentle rains of spring Take what you can of life Feel free to stop the world from turning Back it up if you must Take my old 50's Chevy with you Leaving behind the rust Take the shore from its kissing of the sea Lift the beggar from off his knees You can pretty much do anything Just leave my Barry Manilow with me I'm not really much of a Barry Manilow fan... this just sounded funny to me. Although you do have to hand it to him...he did write the songs.
