I Write the Songs Songtext
von 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
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 gives your 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 from 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
