I Write the Songs

[Verse 1]

I've been alive forever

And I wrote the very first song

I put the words and melodies together

I am music and I write the songs

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 am young again even though I'm very old

[Chorus 1]

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

[Bridge]

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 and that's a real fine way to start

It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me, it's a worldwide symphony

[Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

Yeah, I write the songs that make the whole world scream

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

[Outro]

I am music and I write the songs, yeah
