A Song For You

by Lena Horne

on Nature's Baby (1971)

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 on stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

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

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
And if my words don't come together
Just listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding

But I love you in a place where there's no space and 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 and I was singing my song to you

But I love you in a place where there's no space and time
I love you for my very 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 for you
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
