Donny Hathaway
A Song for You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I have 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
But girl, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
So darling, can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing my song for you
You taught me precious secrets
The truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
So 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 are a friend of mine
Oh, oh
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
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was
Singing my song
For you
Woah
For you
Mmm
