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, can't you see? Ooh, here's no one more important to me So, darling, won't you please see through me? Because we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you, yeah, yeah
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholding nothing You came out in front, well, baby, I was hiding But now, I'm so much better, with my words coming together Listen to the melody, 'cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life Because you the boy next door and a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember Being together and I was singing this song for you, yeah
We were alone And I was singing this song Singing this song, yeah, yeah, yeah Yes, we were all alone And I was singing my song, singing my song Yeah, yeah, yeah When we were alone And I was singing my song Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We were alone And I was singing our song for you
You know what? Donny Hathaway, you know what? I see Donny Hathaway is like, uhm, my Carleen Anderson Like on Marvin Gaye, like, great, but Donny Hathaway, like... He couldn't contain himself He had something in him, you know?
