I Write The Songs 1974

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Mar 2005

I've been alive for ever,
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'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.

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 give 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 nice place to start,
it's from me, it's for you,
it's from you, it's for 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.

I am music and I write the songs.
The Songs of Love and special things.
I write the songs.
