I Write The Songs (Barry Manilow)

I Write The Songs (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

(chorus)
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 soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

(chorus)

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

(chorus)

I am music, and I write the songs
