Song For You Lyrics - Singles - Donny Hathaway

I've been so many places in my life and time 

I've sung a lot of songs 

I've made some mad rhymes 

I've acted out my life in stages 

With 10,000 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 

And darling can't you see 

There's no one more important to me 

Baby can't you see through me 

Cause we we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you 

You taught me precious secrets 

Of a true love, you wanted nothing 

You came out in front and 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 

Your a friend of mine 

And when my life is over 

Remember when we were together 

We we're alone and I was singing this song to you (repeat last line 2x)
