A Song for You (Live)

A Song For You - Carmen McRae

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

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 darling can't you see

There's no one more important to me

Darling can't you please see through me

We're alone now and

I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets

Of the truth love withholding nothing

You came out in front and I was hiding

But now right now so much better and

If my words don't set come together

Listen to the melody

For my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where

There's no space or time

I love you for in 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 to you

We were alone and I was

Singing this song to you

We were alone and I was

Singing this song to you
