Lyrics for A Song for You
I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs, and I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my love on stages With millions of people watching me Now we're alone and I'm singin' this song to you I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over, remember when we were together We were alone and I was singin' this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of the truth withholding nothing You came out in front and I was hidin', hiding But now I'm so much better If my words don't come together Listen to the melody because my love is in there hiding I know your image of me is not what I hope to be I treated you unkindly baby, oh, can't you see? There's no one more important to me Please, can't you see through me? Now we're alone and I'm singin' this song to you Now we're alone and I'm singin' this song to you Now we're alone and I'm singin' this song, I'm singin' it to you Yes I am, I'm singin' to you, baby Singin' to you, baby, only you baby Oh yeah, I'm singin' this song for you
