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 watchin'
  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
  The truth, withholdin' nothin'
  You came out in front and I was hiding
  Ooh, 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
