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 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 for me
It's a worldwide symphony

Chorus
