作曲 : Howard, Matthews Me, I'm just a singer, though I may be well known The truth is I'd be nothing without the power of a song I've been blessed with fame and fortune, oh, but in the end A song's what I wish I could've been A song lives forever and never ever dies Sings enemies together and touches so many lives Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song I could mend the broke and wounded, I could prove that love is real And take someone from China to a Carolina cotton field I could comfort every soldier, hum all the homeless home I could change the world if I was just a song A song lives forever and never ever dies Sings enemies together and touches so many lives Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song There's an end for me, it's my destiny But this song will carry on and it's just three minutes long Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song
