A Song For You Lyrics
Andy Williams
Words and music by leon russell
(peak billboard position # 82 in 1971)
Ive been so many places in my life and time
Ive sung a lot of songs, Ive made some bad rhyme
Ive acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But were alone now and Im singin this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
Ive treated you unkindly but baby cant you see (baby cant you see now)
Theres no one more important to me (baby)
Baby cant you please see through me
cause were alone now and Im singin this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin nothin
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now Im so much better and if my words dont come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my loves in there hiding
I love you in a place where theres no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (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 alone and I was singin this song, singin this song for you
