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 have my home in your soul Now with such good friends when I look out through your window I'm 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 the young girls cry I write the songs, I write the songs Oh my music makes you dance, it gives you spirit to take a chance And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start It's from me, it's to you, it's from you, it's to me It's a world-wide 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
