A Song For You

Donny Hathaway

Verse 1:



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



Verse 2:



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



Verse 3:



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

Cuz my love is in there hiding



(Piano Break)



Verse 4: (2x)



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)
