Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm just singing this song for you
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
So if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love 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
We were alone and I was singing my song
Singing my song, singing my song
Singing my song, singing my song
