Harry Chapin - Song Man lyrics

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.
