A Song For You Lyrics


I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some mad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to youI know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we we're alone now and I'm singing this song to youYou taught me precious secrets
Of a true love, you wanted nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'cause my love is in there hidingI love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life

Your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you (repeat last line 2x)
