"A Song For You" lyrics

Well, I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, and I've made some bad rhymes
Acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
Now we're alone, and I am singing my song for you

And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly, but darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
So darling, can't you please see through me?
'Cause now we're alone, and I am singing my song for you

Well, you taught me precious secrets
Of a truth, with holding 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
Just listen to the melody
For my love is in there, hiding

And 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 my song for you

Well, you taught me precious secrets
Of a truth, with holding 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
Just listen to the melody
For my love is in there, hiding

And 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 my song for you

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