Lyrics
Song for John
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're my singer
Lemme be your song
Celestial bodies
They get along
And I just want to sing along
You're my single
Lemme be your chart
If you never make the hit parade
You're number one in my heart
As long as I can play a part
Vegetarian by choice
Not by fashion
It's not so much what you eat
As what you balance on
And watch me balance on
Instrumental passage here
We're playin' it now
But you are not among us here
To play like you know how
Beg us to allow
You're my singer
Lemme be your song
No matter what you want to do
Let me pick along
I just want to sing along
