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.
