Songman

Lyrics

[Chorus] Songman, sing your song until the morning comes I can listen as long as you can play Songman, can you teach me how you make someone feel good I think I'll have a song or two that I might wanna sing like you someday [Verse 1] When I was young he'd come around from time to time He could make that old piano ring I remember how my daddy smiled a certain kind of smile With every song his little friend would sing [Chorus] Songman, sing your song until the morning comes I can listen as long as you can play Songman, can you teach me how you make someone feel good I think I'll have a song or two that I might wanna sing like you someday [Verse 2] He'd sit there in the parlor with a twinkle in his eyes Laughing as he'd have a taste or two Then all of us would gather round and listen As he'd play us every song we ever knew [Verse 3] He'd sing of old times in simple rhymes he'd sing of ladies fair One song always made my mama cry But with every tune he filled the room with cowboys, clowns, or kings You could almost touch them if you tried [Chorus] Songman, sing your song until the morning comes I can listen as long as you can play Songman, can you teach me how you make someone feel good I think I'll have a song or two that I might wanna sing like you someday [Bridge] I often wondered was he happy all the time Or did he just play the part Why he came along and why he always left the same Did he sing to hide a broken heart [Verse 4] Those days are gone forever But some things remain the same Though he and his songs have both gone out of style Beneath it all no matter what you think you see I'm just a songman tryin' to make you smile [Chorus] Songman, sing your song until the morning comes I can listen as long as you can play Songman, can you teach me how you make someone feel good I think I'll have a song or two that I might wanna sing like you someday
