song man

Singer:chapin, harry

leon wrote a song for his special girl

and elton and bernie did too!

but you've been mine for such a long time

baby

it's my turn to write one for you

and this is the best

that this poor boy could do. you see i don't know what to tell you babe

i can't say thanks a lot

for i know i really owe you

for almost everything i got. you were with me in the good times

and when things were going bad

you were with me when your love

was the only thing i had. i have been a song man

for a long long time

coming up with some melodies

trying to find some words that rhyme. and while i have been singing

you've been there to see me through

and so i think it's long past time

that i wrote this song for you. i was going to keep it simple

and not make it too long

but i had hoped to make it beautiful

for after all it is your song. you know how i love my music

it is my life and my livelihood

but of all that's happened to me babe

you are everything that's good.
