Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Up Front

Things were very quiet, back there

You really oughta try it, back there

But when you think you've had enough

It's come the time to pack your stuff and go

I know

I know I'm goin' upfront, out in front

Leavin' everyone behind

Got to see what I can find

Upfront

Upfront, out in front

I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see

Upfront

Nothin' but beginners, back there

They never heard of winners, back there

They laughed at all my schemes

They said forget your dreams and stay

No way

The way to go is upfront, out in front

Leavin' everyone behind

Got to see what I can find

Upfront

Upfront, out in front

I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see

Upfront

I'm goin' where the livin' is high

And the lovin' is free and easy

Every star in the sky

Will be shinin' for me, for me

Shinin' for me, shinin' shinin'

Gonna be shinin', shinin' shinin'

You see I'm goin' upfront, out in front

Leavin' everyone behind

Got to see what I can find

Upfront

Upfront, out in front

I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see

Upfront
