Barry Manilow - I Write The Songs Lyrics

Artist: Barry Manilow

Album: Tryin' To Get The Feeling

  • Songwriters: Bruce Johnston

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

What does this song mean to you?

    The author captures the essence of the 'real' you. Our spirit within is Very Old, yet you are young in this life. All of us have creativity deep inside. Awake & realize this. Pay attention to your intuition it is your higher (and smarter) self. I love the words in this song.

    This is a masterful song. The author places the title of the song in the last line of the first verse. This technique is seldom used but often successful. The technique tends to capture the listeners sooner than having the title in the chorus.
