I Write The Songs

(album: The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall - 1975)

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I'm 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 those 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
And with such good friends when I look out through your eyes
I am young again, even though I'm very old

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 those young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you 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 through me
It's a world wide symphony

(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 those young girls cry
I write the songs, 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 those young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music, and I write the songs
