"A Song For You" (Leon Russell 1970)

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes

I've acted out my love on stages

With 10,000 people watching

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

Darling can't you please see through me

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

You taught me precious secrets

Of the truth, withholding nothing

You came out in front and 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's in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space and 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

But I love you in a place where there's no space and 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

We were alone and I was singing my song

Singing this song for you
