"A Song For You" lyrics

"A Song For You"
(feat. Chris Botti)
(originally by Leon Russell)


I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
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's in there hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time
I love you for my life 'cause you're 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

And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone, and I was singing my song for you

Whoa
For you
