Donny Hathaway
A Song for You (Live @ the Troubador, Los Angeles, CA)
[Verse 1]
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 on stages
Ten thousand people watching

[Chorus]
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

[Verse 2]
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?

[Chorus]
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

[Bridge]
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front whеn I was hiding
Hey hey, but now I'm so much bettеr
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
[Verse 3]
I love you, I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember, remember
When we were together

[Chorus]
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Singing this song to you, ooh
