Lyric A Song For You

(Leon Russell)

I ve been so many places
In my life and time
I ve sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhymes

I ve acted out my life in stages
Ten thousand people watching
But we re alone now
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
Oh, 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
I was hiding
Oh, but now I m so much better
If the words don t come together
Just listen to the melody
Cause my love in there hiding
Ooh, ooh

Oh, I love you in a place
Where there s no space or time
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
I was singing this song for you, oh
Singing
I was singing, singing, singing, singing, singing this song for you
Oh, yes
Singing this song for you
