I SING THE SONGS
(Bruce Johnston)


Frank Sinatra - 1976



I've been alive forever
And I sang the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I sing the songs

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing
I sing the songs of love and special things
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry
I sing the songs, I sing the songs

My home is 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 growing old

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing
I sing the songs of love and special things
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry
I sing the songs, I sing the songs

My music makes you dance
It gets your spirit to take a chance
And if the music's from the heart
It's a real fine way to start
It's from me, it's to you, it's from you, it's to me
It's a worldwide symphony

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing
I sing the songs of love and special things
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry
I sing the songs, I sing the songs

I sing and the whole world sings
I sing the songs of love and special things
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry
I sing the songs, I sing the songs
I am music, and I sing the songs
