A Song For You
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 love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone yeah and I'm singin' this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly many times but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now)
There's no one more important to me
Baby baby can't you see through me
We are alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front when I was hiding
And now I'm so much better and if my words
They don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody)
'Cause my love oh baby
'Cause my love
'Cause my love is in there
Is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you became a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine)
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone baby and I was singin' this song for you
For only you, only you
I was singing my song for nobody but you
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone yeah and I'm singin' this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly many times but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now)
There's no one more important to me
Baby baby can't you see through me
We are alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front when I was hiding
And now I'm so much better and if my words
They don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody)
'Cause my love oh baby
'Cause my love
'Cause my love is in there
Is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you became a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine)
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone baby and I was singin' this song for you
For only you, only you
I was singing my song for nobody but you
