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 singing 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 singing my song for you

You taught me precious secrets
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

I love you in a place where there is 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

And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone, and I was singing my song for you
