I Write The Songs
Barry Manilow 1979
  (Riverboat 643)   Buddy Weaver
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
I've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first song
Walk all around your corner girl, see saw 'round your partner
Allemande left and weave the ring
Songs from me, just for you
You meet and promenade her 'round there too
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs, I write the songs


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru, 4 hands around you travel
You make a right hand star
Heads star left, on around the inside
Same pair, you do a dosado
Slide thru, square thru 3 hands 'round
Swing your corner, promenade her 'round
I write the songs that make the young girls cry...
I write the songs


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am Music...

Allemande left and weave the ring
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
