You Can Make Me Free Lyrics

You can make me free
You can make me smile
You can make me be like a little child
You can melt the ice that chills my body
You can dry my ev'ry tear
You can 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 the skies
I can soar like a bird
With his heart full of song, yeah, yeah
Won't you color my eyes?
I've been writing so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better if you only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait when you'll be what I'm dreaming of
I can take the skies
I can soar like a bird
With his heart full of song, yeah, yeah
Won't you color my eyes?
I've been writing so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better if you only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait when you'll be what I'm dreaming of
You can make me free
You can make me cry
I know you know that you can make it so much better
If you would only try, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cover art for You Can Make Me Free lyrics by Billy Joel

An all time favourite, I don't care if the whole sounds too quick or not, as I've read somewhere.

Bright BJ with the purest of hearts, sweetest of voices -in a male- he put the most elegant soundtrack in my nights of passion.

And this I remember too well, cause while we kissed, Billy Joel was singing the bottom line: "You can melt the ice that chills my body, You can dry my ev'ry tear" and there comes the beautiful thing: my partner -ignorant- didn't catch a single word of English. But felt passionate about this young man's voice though, and said so. From then on, every time I listen to this song, some small part of my mind recalls those nights. At once, like an open perfume.

This is a great song from his greatest album "Cold Spring Harbor". The first release of this song is around 6 minutes long, when the re-release is almost 3. Artie Ripp wrecked that song. It was good how it was just like Tomorrow is Today.

A homage to Lennon

A homage to Lennon and McCartney for sure, especially around the White Album era... listen to "Blackbird" for one.
