"A Song For You" lyrics

"A Song For You"
(feat. The Robert Farnon Orchestra)
(originally by Donny Hathaway)


I've been so many places in my life and times
I've sung a lot of songs and made some bad rhymes
Acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching

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

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkind, but, baby, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you see through me?

'Cause we're alone
And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And 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, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together

We were alone
And I was singing this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkind, but, baby, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you please see through me?

'Cause we're alone
And I'm singing a song for you
Now we're alone
And I'm singing a song to you
We're alone
And I'm singing this song to you
