A Song For You

by Petula Clark

on Open Your Heart: A Love Songs Collection (2009)

I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhyme

I've acted out my life in stages
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 hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?

There's no one more important to me
Oh, baby, can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
I was hiding

Oh, but now I'm so much better
If the words don't come together
Just listen to the melody
'Cause my love in there hiding

Oh, I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
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 this song for you

We were alone
I was singing this song for you, oh
Singing, singing
I was singing, singing, singing, singing
Singing this song for you

Oh, yeah
Singing, singing this song for you
Singing, singing this song for you
Singing, singing this song for you

Singing, singing this song for you
Singing, singing this song for you
Singing, singing this song for you
Singing, singing this song for you
