            You can make me free
            You can make me rise
            You can make me see
            So open up your eyes

      The second song on Cold Spring Harbor, "You Can Make Me Free," is a free-wheeling love paean, reminiscent of the psychedelic pop of the late 1960s.  It sounds like a Paul McCartney tune from the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/Magical Mystery Tour era, complete with harmonized "aah-aahs" such as in The Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye" and "Magical Mystery Tour."   The original version also features a fun, raucous instrumental bridge and outro, including a great guitar solo by Don Evans.

     While the lyrics are a little cheesy at times ("I can take to the skies/I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song"), the song is quite fun, a guilty pleasure.  And as always, there is an earnestness in Billy's voice that indicates the feelings behind the song are authentic.

     Unfortunately, much of the song was substantially cut in the re-released version of the album in 1983.  Compare the two versions at the bottom of this page.

​You Can Make Me Free 
Cold Spring Harbor (1971)
​
<<           >>
Words and Music by Billy Joel
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 every tear
You 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 to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you cover my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

 This is a fun stop-motion lyrics video by Coral.   It really captures the spirit and feeling of the song.
