About you

Today I want to write a new song again But I almost wrote about everything Songs of heart and soul from a to z I run out of words eventually Shall I write about life from nine to nine Should I put my feelings to a rhyme And suddenly when I was onstage I found the clue I'll write a song About you, about you, about you 'Cause I can rely on you One night you stood in front of me The show was over, it was time to leave You were holding a poster I should sign On your boyish face glowed a shine Now almost fifty years gone by Your long mane turned into a short hairstyle You know all my songs and you sing along Like you always do - when you hear this song I wrote About you, about you, about you 'Cause I can rely on you Now, isn't it great together we grow old Our bones are creaking and we're getting bald You became something of a friend Extended family and part of the band You followed me right from the start You're a true lover of my art Without you, without a tune What would we do? That's why I write this song About you, about you (so good things about you, oh yeah!) You sent me photos By e-mail And you help us With the cd-sale To my birthday You send a surprise Without you, oh What would we do? That's why I write this song About you, about you, about you 'Cause I can rely on you
