Donny Hathaway

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 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

I know your image of me

Is what I hoped to be

I treated you unkindly

But darling, can't you see?

There's no one more important to me

Baby, can't you see through me?

'Cause we're alone now

And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets

Of a true love with holding nothing

You came out in front when 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

I love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I love you for my life

You' re a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember when we were together

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

I love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I love you for my life

You' re a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember when we were together

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

We were alone

And I was singing this song

Singing this song to you
