A Song for You – 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 and 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 am singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I’ve treated you unkindly but darling can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me
Darling can’t you please see through me
‘Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth, withholding nothin’
You came out in front but I was hiding
And now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody for 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, you are a friend of mine
When my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin’ this song for you
But I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I’ve loved 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 singin’ this song for you
We were alone and I was singin’ this song for you
We were along and I was singing my song
Singin’ this song for you
