Song 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 for you

I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
But girl can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darling can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing my song for you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding

Ooh, but now I'm so much better
So 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 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
We were alone
And I was singing that song for you

And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
And we were alone
And I was singing my song for you

Whoa, for you
Mm
