Harry Chapin

I remember way back when In nineteen seventy two I was listening to the radio Just like I'd always do I heard a song come on That I'd never heard before So I laid there and listened I had no idea what was instore The longer I listened The more intrigued I became It told quite a story Taxi, was the songs name Another thing I quickly noticed This song was very long But the rhyming lyrics Made the story line so strong The record played for over six minutes When most songs lasted three or four But while listening to the record I thought, this is a hit for sure It was sung by Harry Chapin A name I'd not heard before But singing songs like this He'd be heard forever more He was a story teller Each song had depth and meaning Listening to his music Could set your mind to dreaming His talent was enormous His writing skills superb His records all contained Some of the best music I ever heard It seems just like with so many others He was taken from us too young I know he had more stories Along with more songs to be sung 1-14-19/RjH
