a song for you lyrics

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, 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
Oh, but darling can't you see that there's no one more important to me?
Baby, 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, yeah, yeah
But now it's so much better if my words don't quite come together
Please listen to the melody 'cause my love is in there somewhere hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember, remember
Remember when we were together

And we are alone now and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you
