Now It's for Real - Barry Manilow

Hard to believe

Only a day

And fifteen years of hard times

Flyin’ away

All those dead ends

Bills comin’ due

Then one door opens

And I walk through

Why should it amaze me

I always knew

Now it’s for real

Here and today

Forget about dreamin’

It’s real all the way

The world’s made to order

Here’s how it feels

Mine and I’m movin’ it

Now it’s for real

All the way up

I’m gonna climb

Been waitin’ forever

And here’s my time

Was hungry for years

Eyes on the goal

Now comes the payoff

I’m on a roll

And I’m gonna own this

Body and soul

Now it’s for real

Here and today

Forget about dreamin’

It’s real all the way

The world’s made to order

Here’s how it feels

Mine and I’m movin’ it

Now it’s for real

Letdown be gone

Runaround be gone

First time in my life

My timing’s dead on!

Now it’s for real

Here and today

Forget about dreamin’

It’s real all the way

The world’s made to order

Here’s how it feels

Mine and I’m movin’ it

Now it’s for real
