you put the soul in the song

we started with nothing but each other and reached for the stars

from a one room apartment with a dream and a pawnshop guitar

god gave the talent but you found the will to survive

in this city of songs where dreamers are eaten alive. i made the music but you make the man

when i'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand

when i was tempted to give up your strength made me strong

i make the music but you put the soul in the song. when i look at you girl i see a true work of art

so many beautiful things in one little heart

every word i ever wrote and every note that i ever sung

you never stop believing that's where the feeling comes from. i made the music but you make the man

when i'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand

when i was tempted to give up your strength made me strong

i make the music but you put the soul in the song.
