| [00:00.24][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:00.42] |
They won't play my music so i'm never comin' back |
| [00:07.95] |
I made too many boasts along the way |
| [00:15.09] |
And its a cold, long lonely day |
| [00:23.07][Verse 2] |
|
| [00:23.49] |
Let me share your fire and I'll sing a song for you |
| [00:30.63] |
Funny, 'cause I called it "Happy Song " |
| [00:37.20] |
And if you won't, I'll move on |
| [00:44.70][Chorus] |
|
| [00:45.09] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [00:52.47] |
He's pumping gas at night just to survive |
| [00:59.73] |
And all he asks of you to sing his songs |
| [01:06.87] |
And put his name in lights where it belongs |
| [01:14.19][Verse 3] |
|
| [01:24.45] |
I used to have a family |
| [01:27.84] |
A wife and three small kids |
| [01:31.59] |
I couldn't give them anything they need |
| [01:37.77] |
I guess I'm a long way from being a man |
| [01:45.54][Verse 4] |
|
| [01:45.87] |
Hey there Mr. Gershwin |
| [01:49.23] |
Gone at thirty eight |
| [01:52.95] |
Gave so much, and yet so much to give |
| [01:59.34] |
And I thank you for Rhapsody in Blue |
| [02:06.42] |
And I must confess sometimes I think I'm you |
| [02:13.47][Chorus] |
|
| [02:14.13] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [02:21.36] |
He's pumping gas at night just to survive |
| [02:28.62] |
And all he asks of you to sing his songs |
| [02:35.67] |
And put his name in lights where it belongs |
| [02:42.72][Verse 5] |
|
| [02:53.52] |
They won't play my music so I'm never comin' back |
| [03:00.72] |
I made too many boasts along the way |
| [03:05.55][Outro] |
|
| [03:05.79] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [03:07.56] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [03:14.64] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [03:21.66] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [03:28.68] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
| [03:35.67] |
The songwriter can make you laugh or cry |
