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 life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
and I'm singin' this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've 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 singin' my song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
Withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
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 singin' my song for you
And when my life is over
remember when we're together
We were alone
and I was singin' my song for you
Ooh for you
