Lyrics for A Song for You

Well, I've been a lot of 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 in stages With ten thousand people watchin' Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you And I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Darling can't you please see through me 'Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you Well,you taught me precious secrets of a truth withholding nothin' You came out in front but I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Just listen to the melody,for my love is in there hiding And I love you in a place where there's no space or 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 singing my song for you You taught me precious secrets Of a truth withholding nothing You came out in front but I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody,for my love is in there hiding And I love you in a place where there is no space or 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 singing my song for you We were alone and I was singing my song for you
