You Are the Only Song — текст песни (Harry Chapin)

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...
