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
And I’m singing this song to you

I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can’t you see?
There’s no one more important to me
Baby, can’t you see through me?

‘Cause we’re alone now
And I’m singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
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’re 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

I love you in a place
Where there’s no space or time
I love you for my life
You’re 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
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song, mm
Singing this song to you
