I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but girl, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
So, darlin' can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing my song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better, so if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody 'cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life as you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember, when we were together
We were alone and I was singing that song for you
And when my life is over, remember, when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you, oh, for you
