Leon Russell
A Song for You
[Verse 1]
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, made some bad rhymes
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 treated you unkindly
Darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth
Withholding nothing
You came out in front
And I was hiding, oh, oh, ooh yeah
But now I'm so much better
And 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
'Cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together, together
When we were alone
And I was singing this song for you
Oh I, oh, I love you in a place
Where there's no world, space or time
And I love you, I love you, love you for my life
'Cause you are a friend of mine
When my life, when my life is over
Remember when we were together, baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Ooh, we were alone now, and I was singing this song for you
Sang, said we were alone and I was singing this song
Singing this song, for you
Singing this song, singing this song, singing this song
