The Real James Taylor
======
He came across that line one more time flying free
they say we saved him but I say he saved me
He fills my heart, fills the room, fills that rug upon the floor
turns his head, turns my soul proud he races no more
Chorus
Because the real James Taylor ain't the one who sings
You know the real James Taylor is not the one who brings me
my slippers or ball or sticks his head out the car
He's too regal for that like a sphinx not a cat
Yes the real James Taylor he's my best friend of all
verse 2
But now that he's gone and all I can do
is just sit down right here and listen to you
Sing songs that I knew songs that gave him his name
in my life he remains on the list of the few
Chorus
Bridge
Chosen just like you've got a friend right on through
Right through fire and rain he will always remain
Chorus
Yes the real James Taylor he's my best friend of all
