A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
Darling, then we're alone and I'm playing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but can't you see 
There's no one more important to me
So darling, won't you please see through me?
'Cause I'm alone and I'm singing this song for you 
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, ey, ey, ey

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front, well baby I was hiding
But now I'm so much better with my words coming together

Listen to the melody because 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
'Cause you the boy next door and a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember
Being together
And I was singing this song for you

We were alone and
And I was singing this song
Singing this song

Yes, we both alone and I was singing this song (singing this song)
Yeah yeah yeah, we belong
And I was singing my song for you, you, yeah, yeah

We were alone and I was singing our song for you

"You know what Donny Hathaway
You know who I see Donny Hathaway as like um my Carleen Anderson
Like um Marvin Gaye like great, but
Donny Hathaway, like
He couldn't contain himself. He had something in him, you know."
