I remember all my life Raining down as cold as ice Shadows of a man A face through a window Crying in the night The night goes into Morning, just another day Happy people pass my way Looking in their eyes I see a memory I never realized How happy you made me oh Mandy When you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy I'm standing on the edge of time I've Walked away when love was mine Caught up in a world of uphill climbing The tears are in my mind And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy When you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy Yesterday's a dream I face the morning Crying on the breeze The pain is calling, oh Mandy When you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy You came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy You kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you!

“Mandy” foi escrita por Scott English e Richard Kerr e, inicialmente, lançada como “Brandy” em 1971 por Scott English.
A versão de Barry Manilow, lançada em 1974, subiu ao #1 no Billboard Adult Contemporary e alcançou o topo do Hot 100 em 1975.
A mudança de título de “Brandy” para “Mandy” ocorreu para evitar confusão com a cantora Brandy.
Barry Manilow gravou a faixa em um estúdio em Nova‑York, onde a produção contou com um arranjo clássico de piano e cordas que realçaram a emoção da letra.
A música foi destaque em vários filmes e séries de drama dos anos 80 e 90, consolidando sua presença nas trilhas sonoras de produções que tratam de temas sentimentais.
Apesar de seu sucesso comercial, “Mandy” não recebeu prêmios oficiais, mas permanece como uma das canções mais reconhecidas do repertório de Manilow.
