Read Em And Weep

Read Them and Weep  (Barry Manilow) Intro: -----/- (2X) I’ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say       I thought I’d leave you with a letter or fiery speech Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play And I’ve been dying for hours Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense      I’d like to know why you gave up and you threw it away I’d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks We started out with a bang and at the top of the world Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks             And everything’s blank Refrain: If I could only find the words then I would write it all down     If I could only find a voice I would speak Oh it’s there in my eyes so can’t you see me tonight C’mon and look at me and read ’em and weep (Repeat) (Repeat Intro) I’ve been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream     We let the past slip away and put the future on hold Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream And I’ve been dreaming forever Hoping something would eventually come       I saw your eyes in the dark I felt your kiss on my lips I traced your body in the air until the bodies were numb Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks But now the rooms are all empty the candles are dark The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks             And everything’s blank (Repeat Refrain) Oh it’s there in my eyes  and coming straight from my heart    It’s running silent and angry and deep Oh it’s there in my eyes and it’s all__ I could say C’mon and look at me and read ’em and weep Read ’em and weep - For all the hours we’ll be spending alone Read ’em and weep - For the dreams we’ll ignore Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep They won’t be kept anymore Read ’em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made Read ’em and weep - For the blood that we lost Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed For whatever the cost Read ’em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed Read ’em and weep - For the lies we believed Running silent and deep - And all the things that we’ll have never been said Why don’t you look at me and read ’em and weep      C’mon and look at me and read ’em It’s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart      It’s running silent and angry and deep    It’s there in my eyes it’s all I can say C’mon and look at me and read ’em and weep
