[Originally by Leon Russell]



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 love in stages

With ten thousand people watching

Now we're alone and I'm singing my song for you



I hoped your image of me is what I hoped it to be

I treated you unkind but darlin' can't you see

There's no one more important to me

So darlin' won't you see right through me

When we're alone and I am singing my song for you



You taught me precious secrets of a love witholding nothing

You came out front when I was hiding

Now I am so much better, 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 my life, you are a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Think of when we were together

When we were alone and I was singing my song for you
