Leon Russell
A Song for You
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 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, my darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Oh baby, can't you 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 while I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's 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
Oh, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you

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, please, remember
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
We were alone and I was singing my song
We were alone - I was singing my song for you
