You're The Only Song I Sing Today

I was born to sing the things I have to say
Some of us are lucky enough to be that way
I found a phrase in every phase of yesterday
You're the only song I sing today

I tried to find the words to rhyme with everything
And place it in a song that I could always sing
You did not just happen, you were dreamed this way
You're the only song I sing today

There's some kind of power, somewhere out of sight
That let's a poet know it when he's said it right
Like so many I have come close a time or two
But all my lines were leading me to you

I remember finding you a melody
Somewhere in the notes you wrote inside of me
Tailored just to fit some words I had to say
You're the only song I sing today
Yes, you're the only song I sing today
