Song Man — текст песни (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.
