You Are the Song
Music by Charles Chaplin for The Freak, circa 1969, lyrics by Glen Anthony
The Freak was a project that Chaplin worked on in the late sixties, a dramatic comedy about a girl with wings. The role was designed for his third daughter, Victoria. The film was never made, but he composed this song, called alternatively “Love Song” and “My Love”, which according to arranger Eric James was a love song to Charlie’s wife Oona.
You Are the Song - Lyrics
My love, you are the song
That sings inside of me
The song is always the same
It starts with love, and ends with your name
The more that I love you
There’s more in you to love
And yet, I just don’t know how
I could love you more
Than I do right now
They say that love grows old
But our love turned to gold
You kiss my sorrows away
And warm my heart
what more can I say?
Each day my life is new
For God bless me with you
And when my life is all through
Without a word
You always knew
That all of my life
My life was you
