Song Man

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.
