Leon Russell
A Song for You (2019)
[Intro]
I'd like to thank you so much
For inviting me and my incredibly talented musicians into your home tonight
You have brought my family and I more joy than I could ever hope to bring you
Please be well, hug each other, and stay safe
We'll see you soon
Now I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad, bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on these stages
With ten thousand people watching
Mmh, 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
If I've treated you unkindly, darlings, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
So I pray you can see through me
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing my song for you
And you taught me precious secrets
Of the true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
If these words, if they don't come together
Listen to the melody
Because my love, it's in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
And I love you for my life 'cause you're all friends of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
And when my life is over
I'll remember when we were together
'Cause we were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
Mmh, we were alone and I was singin' my song for you
I love you
