Good News (Bonus Track)

(album: Barry Manilow II - 1974)

I was looking out the window just this morning
Wasn't finding inspiration in my bed
I was wondering if all this was a warning
'Cause I'd rather waste the day than work instead

It's been quite a while since I could feel my heart beat
I appreciate you offering me yours
But I got to use my own and let it guide me
It's the only thing to get me home for sure

Let's hear some good news for the lady
She's coming out from far behind
And if she seems a little slow
It only goes to show
That everything will grow in its own time

Well I haven't really lost my sense of humor
(Say) it all depends on where you're coming from
But I would tend to give some credence to the rumor
That this bird in flight just might be on the run

Let's hear some good news for the lady
She's coming out from far behind
So if she seems a little slow
It only goes to show
That everything will grow in its own time

I sort of hope you'll understand (that I've been there before)
That I can't always join the band you want
And if I hide behind the words I'm saying
Don't let it fool you; you're not coming through

I need some good news for my lady
She's coming up and wants to shine
So if she needs the time to pause
Just give her room because
She'll be coming round the mountain in her time
(You know) everything will grow in its own time
