(THE LOVE AND THE PASSION) MY MUSIC MAKES ME written by Sheldon Manoo (1997)

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANYONE CAN USE THESE LYRICS FREE OF CHARGE, ALL WE ASK IS TO CREDIT THE BLOG AND PLEASE IF POSSIBLE MAKE A DONATION!

I write these songs to keep me company

All through the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely times

They’re like the friends who never let me down

In my head there’s always a song

And if I could live everyday with music

Will you keep the spirit of radio alive

You don’t need to pay me to do my songs

But just as well I need to buy food and pay the bills

 

You see when it comes to music and me

I can safely say my music makes me

Makes me feel

Makes me live

Makes me love

Makes me high

Makes me understand

That the problems of the world

Could easily be lifted away

With the spirit of a song

The melody, the tune and the meaning

My music makes me keep believing

I believe in the rhythm, in the rhyme, in the harmony

For my music makes me

And not just the music I make

All the music that I take

In from all the other musicians everywhere

I am free I am sincere

For music makes me

My music makes me

 

And to all other people in this music industry

Can you tell me honestly what you’re in for

Cause I heard with my own ears

And it makes me soul shake with sorrow

That some are in it for the multi-million dollar record deals

Some just do it cause they know they can

And some do it cause their friends do it

So do you do it because it’s true

Because it’s part of you

Do you have the love and the passion for the music?

Without the fame, the wealth and the glory

Would you still do it?

I know I would

And not just because I could

Because it’s good and

 

You see when it comes to music and me

I can safely say my music makes me

Makes me feel

Makes me live

Makes me love

Makes me high

Makes me understand

That the problems of the world

Could easily be lifted away

With the spirit of a song

The melody, the tune and the meaning

My music makes me keep believing

I believe in the rhythm, in the rhyme, in the harmony

For my music makes me

And not just the music I make

All the music that I take

In from all the other musicians everywhere

I am free I am sincere

For music makes me

My music makes me

 

 

SOLO

 

You see when it comes to music and me

I can safely say my music makes me

Makes me feel

Makes me live

Makes me love

Makes me high

Makes me understand

That the problems of the world

Could easily be lifted away

With the spirit of a song

The melody, the tune and the meaning

My music makes me keep believing

I believe in the rhythm, in the rhyme, in the harmony

For my music makes me

And not just the music I make

All the music that I take

In from all the other musicians everywhere

I am free I am sincere

For music makes me

My music makes me
