Manilow, Barry - 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

    Mark Fischer I was watching that episode when jake was helping Charlie write a jingle 😂

  8. S.... C....

    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. MANILOW...such good music!

  9. R.... B....

    He the best singer

  10. D.... L....

    Bruce was going to have Brian sing this one, but at the last second decided not to give it to him, and let it go. Barry picked it up, and ran with it.....

  17. A.... F....

    Who is the 'I' who write's the song's that make's the whole world sing? Lucifer!!!! He/She was the music director, choir director in heaven. Lucifer desired to be like the Most High GOD. Lucifer had 'I' trouble in heaven. He/She wanted heaven to be all about Lucifer and one third of the angel's agree. They were all cast out of heaven, cast down to this Earth and now Lucifer write's the song's that make the whole world sing, and now the whole world sing's about the fallen angel, the 😈 devil in blue jean's, 7, etc. Trade him/her your soul and you could receive rich's, fame, talent, a troubled soul, an untimely death and a heated seat front row center in hell. Is it really worth it?????????

    Seemed peaceful during that time although there was a lot going on in the world, but I was too young to understand what was going on. But Barry Manilow was so fun to listen to. I listen to Barry Manilow The Supremes Cat Stevens John Denver Wolfman Jack Etc. Fun times.

  47. P.... R....

    Yeah, Barry did not write the music or the lyrics to this song. It was written by in full by Bruce Johnston, who himself has said the “I am Music” in the song is referring to God. So yes, you’re in fact listening to a gospel song. .

  48. K.... C....

    😅😅😅😅

  49. R.... S....

    His words are more then lyrics. They touch our hearts and our everyday life. His songs are emotion. Thank you Mr. Manilow.

  50. R.... D....

    Barry Manilow is singing for GOD!

  51. J.... P....

    Great song ...

    But, I heard he actually didn't write it.

  52. A.... M....

    Great video, Alliza.

  53. K.... H....

  56. N.... S....

    Peace on Earth

  57. j.... w....

    I love your songs.sing to me please.

  58. m.... m....

    Hermosa canción, que recuerdos de una bella época.

  59. N.... A....

    Super ganda ang mga Old songs

    N.... A....

    Specially I write the songs... My 3 years old son also loves this song so much

  60. A.... Z....

    I think I was a baby when this came out... My dad and mom used to listen to his music when I was growing up. Listening to his music now is just utterly incredible and full of juicy melody.

  61. A.... P....

    What a talent

  62. T.... H....

    I am music

  63. T.... J....

    Best ever song 70's and 80's..still listening now.
    Sept 27,2019

    T.... J....

    Me to 🥰

  64. J.... B....

    Yeah I got a question...
    Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

  65. M.... C....

    They all write about cum guzzlers of casting couch

  66. B.... N....

    Barry manalow where did love leave music?

  67. R.... E....

    Listen to some of these liberal comments ? Trying to somehow incorporate how much more, the people were together in the 60's & 70 's ? ...you bastards were protesting then also. Get a life...or end your life. & get the hell out of the way

  68. R.... E....

    What a great time to live !!!

  69. A.... J....

    Fans of this song should also hear David Cassidy’s version which was recorded before Barry Manilow’s version. It wasn’t a hit, hence Barry Manilow felt free to also record it.

    A.... J....

    I never knew that. You mean Partridge Family David Cassidy? Wow!

  70. b.... d....

    haizz.....wat song of 80s

  71. t.... g....

    so nice and mesmerizing listening the songs. anyone with me september 14 2019.

  72. T.... T....

    IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE THE CREATOR.

  73. B.... R....

    My sister and I grew up listening to Barry Manilow. We saw him in concert and he was great.

  74. E.... B....

    ironically he didn't write this song

  75. K.... �....

    Definitely one of the best ❤️ my favorite song also 💕

  76. P.... D....

    I miss the song 70 n 80

  77. C.... g....

    When will the world get you cannot copy famous Jews music or movie s

  78. D.... C....

    Actually Barry did NOT write this song! Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys wrote it and he Won a grammy for it!

  79. B.... C....

    Reminds me of my mom and Dad😎

  80. T.... F....

    I was & still a big fan of Barry Manilow. However, when I was young, people use to make fun of me for it. It made me feel little ashame for it. Now, that I'm older,
    I could careless what they think.

    T.... F....

    Same here.

    T.... F....

    Much thanks and Aloha to you~ here is my groupie, barry manilow, carpenters, boston, van halen, eagles, starship, peter cetera, peter gabriel, and on and on....but NONE of that punk rock or rap crap in my selection!!!

    T.... F....

    I know what you mean. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and this music was not considered cool. Doesn’t change the fact that it was and still is great music.

    T.... F....

    Because humans are freackin dumb

    T.... F....

    Scary (realization we're gettin older) when the re-recorded version by some boy band is regarded as the "classic" recording of the "past". Barry is better than gold, he's platinum.

  81. G.... J....

    Está canción para mí es igual al primer gran amor. Infinita

  82. K.... H....

    I think the guy from the Beach Boys wrote this...Barry is tremendous, but he did not write it.

  83. D.... C....

    Come with me on the time machine, you ready?

  84. G.... l....

    Barry Manilow and Steve Perry are the two best singers of all time.

  85. a.... a....

    Uma das lindas músicas da minha infância.

  86. M.... R....

    He didn’t write this song! Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys is the lyricist!

  87. S.... M....

    Estos clasicos hacen que regresemos a lindos momentos

  88. j.... w....

    You write the songs.ill sing them with you.

  89. A.... M....

    💙🍃🌹🍃💙💘🌹

  90. M.... P....

    I like the song. It hit the spot.

  91. d.... m....

    it will come back.

  92. j.... w....

    You write the songs.

  93. A.... C....

    This song is exactly what Satan does. For those who understand Scripture and the angel of "pipes" will know this. Others will not understand what I speak of. Read and focus on the lyrics to understand.

  94. L.... D....

    Está música e muito especial. Barry e um cantor que fala do amor incondicional. Nos inspira romances em todos momentos de nossas vidas. Beijos

  95. B.... V....

    Track 1019

  96. B.... ....

    I can picture Carlton Banks singing this.

  97. P.... a....

    I love this song all the time😍😇😈👿
