A Song for You (Live @ the Troubador, Los Angeles, CA) Lyrics by Donny Hathaway

Someday We’ll All Be Free

1979

[Verse 1]
\nI've been so many places in my life and time
\nI've sung a lot of songs
\nI've made some bad rhymes
\nI've acted out my life on stages
\nTen thousand people watching
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBut we're alone now
\nAnd I'm singing this song to you
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI know your image of me
\nIs what I hoped to be
\nI treated you unkindly
\nBut darling, can't you see?
\nThere's no one more important to me
\nBaby, can't you see through me?
\n
\n[Chorus]
\n'Cause we're alone now
\nAnd I'm singing this song to you
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nYou taught me precious secrets
\nOf a true love withholding nothing
\nYou came out in front whеn I was hiding
\nHey hey, but now I'm so much bettеr
\nAnd if my words don't come together
\nListen to the melody
\n'Cause my love is in there hiding
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nI love you, I love you in a place
\nWhere there's no space or time
\nI love you for my life
\nYou're a friend of mine
\nAnd when my life is over
\nRemember, remember, remember, remember
\nWhen we were together
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWe were alone and I was singing this song to you
\nWe were alone
\nAnd I was singing this song to you
\nWe were alone
\nAnd I was singing this song
\nSinging this song to you, ooh\n\n
