Barry Manilow - I Write The Songs Lyrics






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 tho' 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 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 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

    He was 37 and she was 35 years old. My Buddy had a love relationship you'd never seen before. Such love between the two, beyond belief. Just over a year after the beginning of their relationship she developed terminal cancer and was given less than a year to live. What devastation! That being said, their love grew even stronger. On the night she passed away she was in his arms and the background music was playing. As she spoke her last  words, "I'll always love you," this song (I WRITE THE SONGS)  started playing. And tears just flowed down our eyes. We have never forgotten this song, which of course reminds of her passing. BARRY MANILOW..such good music!

  11. U.... ....

    This song is basically the musical equivalent to Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables.

  12. A.... B....

  15. P.... M....

    What a strange world we live in when Barry Manilow is condemned as pretentious for this song. It's in the third (well O.K. not person) but this 'thing' we call music needs to be celebrated, only John Miles came close to this one.

  16. M.... R....

    Full House.

  31. T.... N....

    I live listening to older music on YouTube but the only bad thing about is if you go to read the comments 95% is full of people posting a month and the the year asking people who's listing at the time they are it's annoying

  32. A.... B....

    The Draconian puppet master is correct, he has been alive forever and he did write the first songs. The puppet master has kept humans busy singing songs and dancing and enjoying life. What more do you want? Hahaha.

  47. M.... L....

    Have you ever noticed the lyrics of the song? Spiritually? its full of "LUST,SATANISM" that's how i understood it the sound was very tempting but the lyrics of the song tells us to be influence in a wrong way...

  48. G.... B....

    The Manilow theme song. Barry is one of the best singer-songwriters of all time. Thank you for the music.

    G.... B....

    @eternal echo Thank you for the info.🙏

    G.... B....

    @Gary B. That you Mr Barlow??

    G.... B....

    Even though Barry didn't write this. It was written by Bruce Johnston. And it wasn't Barry who wrote Mandy either, that was originally a single called Brandy by Scott English.

    This is glorious, been searching for "how to write the perfect song lyrics" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Honora Xenndrew Magic - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

    I write my life in many hours on a wall and write to finish this is a endless story a neverending story

    OK I'm gonna throw one out there when I had a drinking debate with an ex teacher from Tangaroa(hope pronounced and writing properly) College, Auckland, New Zealand that I said this was Lucifer and he was saying how, l pointed out a few things like writing the first song, music with your moods and being old looking out thru young eyes. To BE CONTINUED!

  69. F.... E....

    I can write one for your love one or country. Or anything. Contact me planet.

    Trivia: Barry Manillow didn't write this song.

  72. D.... W....

    What a beautiful song written by Beach Boy BruceJohnston, who was brought in when Brian Wilson quit live performances. He said the "I" he was referring to is God ! Here's part of the lyrics:


    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

  73. D.... R....

    Hey STUPID it's My Home Lies Within You not My "Hole' you idiot! How about you fix it dummy!

  83. O.... G....

    UNREAL! THE GREATEST SECRET EVER IS CONTAINED IN THE LYRICS OF THIS SIMPLE TUNE. In other words, 'I' is everyone-thing essentially. We're ALL, connected!

  84. K.... H....

    all those who say that one thing brought to here, doesn't know what's the meaning of the music
