A Song for You - Leon Russell & Friends/Donny Hathaway/The Carpenters/Ray Charles/Aretha Franklin/Cher

    
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 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 treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see 
There's no one more important to me, baby can't you please see through me 
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you 

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 
You came out in front when I was hiding, but 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 for you 

We were alone and I was singing this song for you
