barry manilow - i write the songs lyrics

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 tho' 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 the 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 find place to start
it's from me, it's for you
it's from you, it's for me
it's a worldwide symphony

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

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

i am music and i write the songs
