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
I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now
I'm singing this song for you

You've taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Oh, 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
I was singing this song for you

Oh, you've taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front, oh, but I was hiding
Oh, 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
I was singing this song for you

Oh, we were alone
And I was singing this song for you
This is my song for you
