Leon Russell - A Song For You Lyrics

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 life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
An' I'm singing this song to you

An' I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darlin', can't you see?

There's no one more important to me
Darlin', can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
An' I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
An' I was hiding

But now I'm so much better
An' if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love in there hiding


I'll love you in a place
Where there's no space and time
I'll love you for my life
You are a friend of mine

An' when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
An' I was singing this song to you

But I'll love you in a place
Where there's no space and time
I'll love you for my life
You are a friend of mine

An' when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
An' I was singing this song for you

We were alone
An' I was singing this song for you
We were alone
An' I was singing that song
Singing this song for you
