I Write the Songs

By Barry Manilow

I've been alive forever, 
and I wrote the very first song. 
I put the words and the melodies together, 
I am music, 
and I write the songs. 

I write the songs that make the whole world sing. 
I write the songs of love and special things. 
I write the songs that make the young girls cry. 
I write the songs, I write the songs. 

My home lies deep within you, 
and I've got my own place in your sole. 
Now, when I look out through your eyes, 
I'm young again, even though I'm very old. 

Oh my music makes you dance 
and gives your spirit to take a chance, 
and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move. 
Music fills your heart, 
well, that's a real fine place to start. 
It's from me it's for you, 
it's from you, it's from me, 
it's a world wide symphony. 

Oh my music makes you dance 
and gives your spirit to take a chance, 
and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move. 
Music fills your heart, 
well, that's a real fine place to start. 
It's from me it's for you, 
it's from you, it's from me, 
it's a world wide symphony. 

Oh my music makes you dance 
and gives your spirit to take a chance, 
and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move. 
Music fills your heart, 
well, that's a real fine place to start. 
It's from me it's for you, 
it's from you, it's from me, 
it's a world wide symphony. 

I am music, and I write the songs.
