I've been alive forever, and I sang the very first song,

I put the words and the melodies together, I am music and I sing this song:

 

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,

I sing the songs of love and special things,

I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,

I sing the songs, I sing the songs.

 

My home is deep within you, and I've got my own place in your soul,

Now when I look out through your eyes,

I am young again even though I'm growing old.

 

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,

I sing the songs of love and special things,

I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,

I sing the songs, I sing the songs.

 

My music makes you dance, it gets your spirit to take a chance,

And if the music's from the heart, it's a real fine way to start,

It's from me, it's to you, it's from you, it's to me,

It's a world-wide symphony.

 

I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,

I sing the songs of love and special things,

I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,

I sing the songs, I sing the songs.

 

I sing, and the whole world sings,

I sing the songs of love and special things,

I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,

I sing the songs, I sing the songs.  I am music, and I sing the songs.
