Leon Russell
A Song for You (2016 recording)
[Verse 1]
Now I've been so many places
In my life and times
Sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
Acted out my life on stages
Ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you

[Verse 2]
Now I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
Treated you unkindly
Can't you see
No one more important to me
Darling can't you please see through me
When we're alone and
I'm singing this song for you

[Bridge]
You taught me precious secrets
Truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
If these words don't come together
Listen to the melody
My love is in there hiding
[Verse 3]
Now I love you in a place
Where there's no space and time
I love you for my life
Darling you're a friend of mine
When my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you

[Outro]
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song
Singing this song for you
