|
I've sung it all tonight
|
Almost every story that I know
|
And now when they turn out the spotlights
|
I'm not sure where I'm s'posed to go
|
And I'm so hoarse I can't hit the high notes
|
It's just a whisper when I'm low
|
But when you sing from the inside
|
You hope that something shows
|
And that it why
|
|
Yes you are the only song, the only song I need
|
You're my laughter and you're my lonely song
|
You're the harvest and you're the seed
|
And you're my first and my final song
|
For you own me indeed
|
Oh yes, oh yes,
|
Yes, after all is said and done
|
You're the one song that I need
|
|
I've sung my songs to silence
|
To empty clubs and crowded bars
|
I've sung my songs to standing room
|
Even sung 'em to the stars
|
But the faces they fade together
|
And the applause it's gone so fast
|
And the story of every darkened stage
|
Is that the glory just does not last
|
|
And that is why
|
Yes after all is said and done
|
You're the one song that I need
|
|
All my life's a circle...
|
