Donny hathaway 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 rhyme

 I've acted out my love in stages

 With ten thousand people watching

 But we're alone now 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 but darlin' can't you see

 There's no one more important to me

 Darlin' can't you please see through me

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

 

 You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing

 You came out in front and I was hiding

 But 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 in my life you are a friend of mine

 And when my life is over

 Remember when we were together

 We were alone and I was singing this song for you

 

 You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing

 You came out in front and I was hiding

 But 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 in my life you are a friend of mine

 And when my life is over

 Remember when we were together

 We were alone and I was singing this song for you

 We were alone and I was singing this song for you
