I heard someone sing this at Whitby although I think I'd heard some of it before. Anyone have the words?

I WRITE THE SONGS

Written by BRUCE JOHNSON

Performed 1975 by Barry Manilow

I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music, and I write the songs

I write the songs
That make the whole world sing
I write the songs
Of love and special things
I write the songs
That make the young girls cry
I write the songs,
I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

I write the songs
That make the whole world sing
I write the songs
Of love and special things
I write the songs
That make the young girls cry
I write the songs,
I write the songs

Oh, my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit
To take a chance
And I wrote some rock and roll
So you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony

I write the songs
That make the whole world sing
I write the songs
Of love and special things
I write the songs
That make the young girls cry
I write the songs,
I write the songs

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Usually, it does not take three hours. Sorry you were ignored.
