Barry Manilow - Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do) Lyrics






Once in your life you will find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wonderin' to yourself
Hey, what have I found

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart he's just
He's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a pretty good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

[Instrumental Interlude]

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love...

    Some songs can be done by thousands of people. Other songs like this one are special to one performer - in this case, Christopher Cross. Barry had a lot of guts to do a cover of this song. He did as well as anybody could, other than Christopher Cross.

  26. I.... J....

    I love the sax part 😢

  27. D.... M....

    muito linda !!! bela canção...grande artista !!!

  28. A.... V....

  50. J.... T....

    Love this. Brings back many memories of growing up in Summit NJ in the 1980s and hearing this. Summit NJ is only a 40 minute (or less) train ride to Manhattan.

  51. b.... s....

    W.... E....

    Blue Moon

  55. s.... s....

    great song Barry , up beat with no let downs in music or lyrics.

    Siempre estaras en la mejor etapa de mi vida, y ya todo paso sin darme cuenta

  57. r.... ....

    Not bad Barry......not bad at all.

    r.... ....

    +rickw1100 Right? He knows how to amp up the drama better than just about anyone. Dave Koz was so the right move in the bridge. Love the two modulations he added in the final choruses. Very nicely done.

  58. C.... ....

    Christopher Cross's version is a classic, but I like Barry's version better. I remember hearing this on a moonlit night in New York City a few years ago. Barry Manilow is one of the greatest and most legendary musicians ever!

  59. n.... ....

    hermoso tema,te felicito barry y feliz navidad 2015 soy juan y tengo una banda aqui en argentina

  60. c.... ....

    Barry,s version of this song is the best i have heard, love you and your voice and music Mr Manilow,you know
    exactly what you are doing where music is concerned.

  61. M.... A....

    este es de christopher cross.

  62. P.... V....

    Bello tema.

  63. i.... s....

    love it...

  64. 1.... ....

    once again...better than the original song...at least to my ears...

    1.... ....

    +123Rockchild not to mine. but i agree this is good. :)

    1.... ....

    123Rockchild Do not agree, but beautiful song it is.

  65. �.... ....

    medolic voice!!!!!!!!!

  66. a.... ....

    Barry has a good singing voice and good vibrato in this cover.

  67. C.... 2....

    His interpretations are fantastic!

  68. p.... ....

    manilows voice comes out so bldy easily. what else can be said.

  69. M.... d....

    The best for me.

  70. W.... ....

    II LOVE THIS SONG!! THANKS MR. BARRY MANILOW.I LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY! I ENJOYED WATCHING THE MOON AND THE BEAUTY OF NEW YORK CITY-IT IS THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS"..."HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. BARRY MANILOW!!!WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY!!!...

  71. T.... M....

    lovely version of a terrific song!

  72. m.... f....

    it`s ok, ! you sound like neil diamond !

  73. Y.... R....

    Very compliment on great piano Artisan of Arts Barry M. Brings Inspires my soul. Thank you all

    Y.... R....

    Barry Manilow's version of Arthur's theme is brilliant
    This definitely puts Christopher. Cross's version to shame

  74. m.... ....

    I love Barry's music, but I don't think this song is for him.It's keyed down so low that the song looses it's pazazz.Could be that I just like the original better with C. Cross.Still love ya Barry just not this one.

  75. i.... ....

    "no" meaning I disagree with your claim. It's a good version but Christopher Cross will never be surpassed! Barry even changed the key... the song lost its original mood

  76. J.... ....

    Unsure what just "no" means. Feel free to disagree, as for me, I listened to them all and like this one the best :)

  77. M.... ....

    LOVE IT!!!!!!

  78. C.... A....

    Peter Allen/Christopher Cross/Carole Bayer Sager/Burt Bacharach

  79. g.... ....

    If I'm not mistaken, the writing credit on this song is Burt Bacharach/ Hal David/ Carole Bayer Sager/ Christopher Cross

  80. K.... H....

    It's brilliant because Burt Bacharach wrote it

  81. J.... ....

    BEST VERSION of song. Download MP3 from Amazon!
