You Are the Only Song

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 goAnd 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 whyYes, 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 songFor you own me indeed

Oh yes, oh yes,

Yes, after all is said and done

You're the one song that I needI'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 starsBut 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 lastAnd that is why

Yes, after all is said and done

You're the one song that I needAll my life's a circle
