You Are the Only Song Lyrics

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 supposed 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
