Song Man - Harry Chapin

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
