A Song For You Lyrics

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages with ten thousand people watching
But we are alone yeah, and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly many times, but baby can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby, baby can't you see through me
We are alone, and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding (but you have nothing to hide)
And now I'm so much better, and if my words, they don't come together
Listen to the melodies (listen to the melodies)
Cause my love, ooh baby, cause my love, cause my love, ooh
Is in there, ooh, is in there hiding
Baby I loved you in a place (in a place, in a place, in a place)
Where there's no space or time
(Baby I loved you) I loved you all my life
You became a friend of mine
And when my life is all over
Remember when we were together, when we were alone
And I was singing this song for you
For only you, only you, ooooooooooooh
I was singing my song for nobody but you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
