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 on 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 withholding 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 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
