Lyrics: A Song For You

Originally by Leon Russell

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, made some bad rhymes
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, darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can't you see through me
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding, oh, oh, ooh yeah
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
Ooh ooh oh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, ooh, yeah

I love you in a place where there's 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, together
When we were alone and I was singing this song for you, ohh, ooh
Oooh, yeah

Oh I, oh I,
Love you in a place
Where there's no world, space or time
And I love you, I love you, love you for my life
'Cause you are a friend of mine
When my life, when my life is over
Remember when we were together baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Ooh, we were alone now, and I was singing this song for you
Sang, said we were alone and I was singing this song, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Singing this song, for you, ooh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh ooh, ooh yeah
Singing this song, singing this song, singing this song, ooh, yeah
