Long ago,
I would listen.
I’d turn on my radio.
One man’s song’s would always glisten.
Harry made it so.
At my old desk
I write, pretending
his influence will hardly show.
But in the end
I agree with Lennon:
Harry made it so.
People let me tell you ‘bout the first time
that I heard Harry,
he was singing on the telly
‘bout a Father and Son
and an arrow, pointing.
Now, Harry’s gone
but I’m still listening
to ‘Pussycats’ and even though
it’s warped and scratched
I still find I’m missing
Harry Nilsson
(Nilsson Schmilsson).
Harry made it so.
