The Song's Gotta Come From The Heart

It's art that made the mold It's the difference between the big and the small It doesn't have to be witty or smart Just as long as it comes from the heart It doesn't have to be classic or rock Just as long as it comes from the heart Just put more heart into you voice And you'll become the people's choice Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart Just make up your mind from the start That the song's gotta come from the heart Don't be afraid you'll make your grade Why you can sing as good as Bing That's why I say when you start That the song's gotta come from the heart It doesn't have to be witty or smart Long as it comes from the heart It doesn't have to be classic or rock Long as it comes from the heart I'll give 'em that I'll give 'em this I'll strut away Boy! You can't miss! Just put a star on my chart They won't need this anymore! Cause the song's gonna come from the heart Don't work cheap! On opening nights, your name in lights Why we won't stop, 'til you reach the top We'll order our meal a la carte That's expensive! If the song comes from the heart We'll be tremendous! If the song comes from the heart Can't call up Gable If the song comes from the heart! H-e-a-r-t! --- The Song's Gotta Come from the Heart - Barry Manilow and Jimmy Durante
