I've been so many places in my life and time 
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes 
I've acted out my life in stages 
With ten thousand people watching 
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you 

I know your image of me is what I hope to be 
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see 
There's no one more important to me 
Baby can't you see through me 
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you 

You taught me precious secrets of a true love witholding nothing 
You came out in front when I was hiding 
Now I'm so much better and 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's no space or time 
I love you for 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 singing this song to you 

I love you in a place where there's no space or time 
I love you for 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 singing this song to you 
We were alone and I was singing this song to you 
We were alone and I was singing this song 
Singing this song to you

- Donny Hathaway
