(russell)               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 lighted up my life on 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 treated you unkindly   But darling, can't you see   No one's more important to me   But darling, can't you please see through me   'cause we're alone now   And I'm singing this song for you.         Chorus:   You taught me precious secrets   Of the truth witholding nothing   You came out in front and I was hiding   Now's 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 in my life   You're a friend of mine   When my life is over   We were alone   And I was singing this song for you.         Chorus         I love you in a place where there's no space or time   I love you -- in my life, you're a friend of mine   When my life is over   We were alone and I was singing this song for you         We were alone and I was singing this song for you.
