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 love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
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 darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can't you see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth,
Withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And 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's no space or time
I need in my life, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over,
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
Yes, we were alone and I was singin' this song for you
