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 with holding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Oh, but now I'm so much better,
So if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody 'cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember, when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
And when my life is over
Remember, when we're together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
