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 in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we’re alone now, I’m just singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, baby
I treated you unkindly, but girl, can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me?
So darling, can’t you please see through me?
‘Cause we’re alone now, and I’m singing my song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholding nothing
You came out in front, and I was hiding, yeah
But now I’m so much better, so if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody, ’cause my love’s in there hiding
I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I love you for my life, ’cause you’re a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone, and I was singing my song for you
I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I’ve loved you for my life, yes, you’re a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone, and I was singing my song for you, yes
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you, baby
We were alone and I was singing my song
Singing my song
Singing my song
Singing my song
Singing my song
