[Originally by Leon Russell]I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
Now we're alone and I'm singing my song for youI hoped your image of me is what I hoped it to be
I treated you unkind but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darlin' won't you see right through me
When we're alone and I am singing my song for youYou taught me precious secrets of a love witholding nothing
You came out front when I was hiding
Now I am so much better, 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, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Think of when we were together
When we were alone and I was singing my song for you
