  • Barry Manilow performs the song "As Sure As I'm Standing Here" live on November 7th, 1992 in Manila, Philippines.
    A note from Barry on this performance...
    This is from the shows we did in Manila in 1992 and I couldn’t be happier to share this one with you.
    I’ll never forget my first phone interview announcing that we were coming to the Philippines for the first time.
    As I was waiting to be connected to the interviewer, my publicist who was conferenced on the phone with me, whispered, “They just told me that you’re a God in the Philippines!"
    I said, “Well, that sounds good!”
    Of course, I thought she was just kidding around, but when we arrived there, the greeting was insane. Hundreds of people met me at the airport, the TV shows I did carried on as if I were Sinatra!
    As the concerts neared, I heard my music on the radio non-stop. And the music that preceded or followed my songs, sounded very much in the style of my music.
    We played a huge Stadium and both nights drew more the 50,000 people!
    And what concerts they were!
    These beautiful Philippine people had taken my music and me to their hearts since the first day “Mandy” was released. They loved the romantic style of records I had been making.
    Getting to know them, it all made sense. Everyone I met in Manila was kind, helpful and loving. They were the definition of romance. I’ll never forget those days.
    And I’ll never forget those shows!
    The audience was amazing.
    I was greeted like a long lost brother. They knew every song and sang along with each one.
    The biggest shock was that their all-time favorite song was… and this really amazed me…”As Sure As I’m Standing Here”.
    I’ve always loved this song, but it had been buried amongst the bigger hit records from those years. But not in Manila!
    I had totally forgotten how the song went and my band had never played it.
    We rehearsed it during our sound check and did the song during the first concert. And all 50,000 people sang along with it, word for word!
    We dug through the archives and found a video of that first concert.
    It’s a little timeworn, but you’ll be able to get a sense of that show.
    I’m so glad enough people requested this concert. It’s one of my favorite shows and it reminds me of those beautiful people who treated us with such love.
    I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.
    -Barry

    LYRICS:
    Sometimes I look at you
    Sad and so beautiful
    Young and alone
    And so far from home
    Much too much for you
    Much too soon
    Empty eyes gazin' at the moon
    As sure as I'm standing here
    You'll never have to be afraid
    As sure as I'm standing here
    I'll try and help you find your way
    Oh I swear, as sure as I'm standing here
    You'll never need to be alone
    You've got my word
    As sure as I'm standing here
    Sometimes I look at you
    Sleepin' like a baby
    Your hair combed with sunlight
    Full of sweet days
    You say nothin' matters
    Say you know how it is
    Did you think it would be like this?
    But sure as standing here
    You'll never have to be afraid
    As sure as I'm standing here
    I'll try and help you find your way
    Oh I swear, as sure as I'm standing here
    You'll never need to be alone
    You've got my word
    As sure as I'm standing here
    Oh I swear as sure as I'm standing here

    I was over the moon when I experienced this magical performance of Barry. The first night performance in Manila. Barry would do this skit in his southeast Asian tour where a particular song in one of his albums is a hit only in that country. "As sure as I'm standing here" from his "Trying to Get the Feeling" album from 1975 is the one for the Philippines. It's only fitting that he recorded this magical concert on his first night performance to capture spontaneity from Filipinos. It was magical to hear fans and patrons sing along as Barry performs. What a night. Thank you Barry. Love you so much.

I dream you are singing to me as my situation is so complicated and horrible.

It would not go away so I just stopped looking at in for a couple of weeks. It is a very sweet song and very romantic and emotional. All the way to Manila and you have thousands of fans there.

I know I have as I was married to a brutal wife abuser who almost killed me the last time. You are the one that keeps me calm with your Videos and ManilowTV. Without them, I think I would have committed suicide with "Lay Me Down" playing in the background. Now I have no family as they have all taken my husband's side and he definitely has dementia and does not remember anything. Thank you Barry for these videos and TV. I have no money as my husband never gave me access to any of it and has it hidden so I can't get to it.

    1975: When Debbie heard this, she cried, and I would hold her and say I would do anything possible to make this true. Time, her family and religion ended that. For many years after, even after she passed, I could not play this. Finally, I can, and I try not to cry.

    This song is so emotional and sentimental and often I cry as I have no one to say these words to me. Especially at my age and you know I am only 3 years younger than you are, Being is very lonely at any age, but old age is worse and this song gives me hope that thing will turn around..........................Betsy Blu-Eyes

    Barry.. Sometimes I wonder when you sing certain songs, it almost sounds like you have a Brooklyn accent to your words and it is wonderful, just like this song. You said it was hidden under a number of other songs until you found it. Everyone knows this one. Look, you are all the way in Manila and it is obvious that they are wild about you and the song as I am..BB

    Barry......In Manila the whole 50,000 people in the audience were singing with you and I was too. This song is so wonderful, and if I had someone like you standing here I wouldn't be afraid. But when you husband and son do something mean to you and you are alone, It hurts..............................

    What a way to start listening to you for 3 hours than this song. It is so beautiful and enchanting, as all of us that have been following you since 1974 would love for you to be standing there, because we know you would never leave us alone because you have sworn that and you are a wonderful man that I knew right the start. Love you Barry..........Betsy Blue-Eyes

    Sometimes I look at you
    Sad and so beautiful
    Young and alone
    And so far from home
    Much too much for you
    Much too soon
    Empty eyes gazin' at the moon
    As sure as I’m standing here
    You’ll never have to be afraid
    As sure as I’m standing here
    I’ll try and help you find your way
    Oh I swear, as sure as I’m standing here
    You’ll never need to be alone
    You’ve got my word🙂

      Thank You! ... What is great music if people cannot hear it?.... I am not a pirate of great music as I have bought many of Barry Manilow's song, but I will not profit from them and keeping such great music only to myself, makes me feel selfish. Shame on ME and Thank You for sharing it with all of us. I love Barry Manilow.

    Barry...................This is also one of your greats. You are so smooth with your singing and of course, I love it when you play the piano. A virtuoso of anything you do. Love you since 1974 when I found that album. We were both very young then, but now we are both pretty old, but remember we older girls love you as much if not more than the younger crowd, as we have not gone away from you in all these years...................................Love, Betsy and we Older Girls

    So many people know this song even though they don't follow you for years and your audience in Manila certainly love this song. So far away yet they know you. We all know you as you an accomplished musician in every part of putting these videos and concerts together. YOu are just so amazing Barry even though you don't want to do this................BB

  • @user-ko9sf9kx6o
    @user-ko9sf9kx6o 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Barry....I haven't listened to this one lately, but I love is a sometimes a hopeful song and sometimes a sad song. You are so emotional when you sing these songs and you are so realistic, that it really seems that you are telling us something. Look at all your fans in Manila who are so far away, but they certainly love you, just like we do in the USA. Love...The Dancing Queen BB 1965

    I always sing along with you so you can count on me. Barry, you are just so super fantastic it is hard to come up with the words to describe how I feel about you, but this song was a big hit all over the world. Who else can say this about almost all of your songs......................Do you ever have time to sleep? Your mind,to me seems like it is always rolling on the next thing you want to do. "As sure as I'm standing here" is really at the almost top of my playlist...............................Love ya............Betsy Blue-Eyes

    I was working at one of the malls in Manila when Barry had this concert. And yes, that was 1992 like just yesterday. Too shame I don't have the chance to watch but prior to the concert and even after, his current and previous albums were played non-stop inside the mall while we jammed with it. Of course, we knew almost every lyrics. Needless to say, because we're Filipinos. lol!
    BTW, Maraming Salamat, Barry for your music. It become part of our lives since then. God bless you!

  • @BetsyBasile
    @BetsyBasile 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The audience in Manila were so wild about you and this song, but you and the song give all of us hope that things will turn out allright somehow. This really is one of my favorites.

    Barry...i am glad to sing along with you on this one as this one is still one of my favorites and I will play it more than once every night.......................Love you always......DancingQueen1965 at Millersvile college. That was one of my nicknames, but the influence in 1965 of Philly, the Amish country was not used to so me and my dance partner, Donald who was really great too. They would gather around us and watch us dance. Love this song, Barry and I love you too...................Betsy

  • @user-ko9sf9kx6o
    @user-ko9sf9kx6o 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Barry................This one is one of my all time favorites that you do. Of course, I always say that about every one of your songs. Romantic and so calming the way you sing it. I did not think my life would be like this at age 76 years old. married for 54 years and getting a divorce as my husband wants all the money, but he knows by law 50% is mine. It was accumulated in that 54 years. Hate to think about it. But I will never give up on you, Barry. Please be careful. We are not young anymore and we need to take care of ourselves.....BB

  • @BetsyBasile
    @BetsyBasile 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well, I found this one right away tonight. This is right at the top of my playlist right now. "You've got my word". The girls in the audience are going crazy as are those of us are at home. As sure as you are standing here, I know I would never feel alone again as I have for so many years. I love you, Barry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy

  • @BetsyBasile
    @BetsyBasile 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There will NEVER be another Barry Manilow because no one does things the was you do. Your smiles, your facial expressions that match that part of the song. For instance, "Lay Me Down", you already said it is an impressive song that you recorded and you do sing that so seriously that we can tell you love it. This one is just so, so good............BB

  • @BetsyBasile
    @BetsyBasile 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well, Barry.........I absolutely know right now it is my favorite. It is just amazing, especially with the lyrics. All the people in the audience go crazy for this one too. Two shows you did here with 50,000 people both days.
    What a show................................Betsy

    I just watched "Please Don't Be Scared" and we can't comment there, but Barry, that song is something everyone should really listen to the WORDS to it. It is fabulous, as this one is too. This is very near the top of my playlist,,,,,,,So sentimental and soothing. Maybe my situation will work out. Barry, you always give me hope and not just with this song. Love to you always and I hope I don't need to stay alone until I die..................................................

All of us know this song. Look how excited the audience got when you sang it and they are in Manila which is not even near the USA. Everyone knows you Barry. I am so proud of your success since 1974. There is not anything you can't do if you want to............................Love you always..................Betsy B
