I Write the Songs

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 girl cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



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



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 girl cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



(Repeat)



I am music (music) and I write the songs
