You can make me free
You can make me smile You can make me be Like a little child |
Words and Music by Billy Joel
From Cold Spring Harbor (1971) |
You can melt the ice that chills my body
You can dry my every tear
You make the lonely hours disappear
You can make me free
You can make me rise
You can make me see
So open up my eyes
Don't you know my only real moments
Are the ones I spend with you
How I long to drink some wine again with you
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
You can dry my every tear
You make the lonely hours disappear
You can make me free
You can make me rise
You can make me see
So open up my eyes
Don't you know my only real moments
Are the ones I spend with you
How I long to drink some wine again with you
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
