A Song For You (With Herbie Hancock) Lyrics
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, 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 for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly, 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 singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding, oh, oh, ooh yeah
But 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
Ooh ooh oh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, ooh, yeah
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life 'cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together, together
When we were alone and I was singing this song for you, ohh, ooh
Oooh, yeah
Oh I, oh I,
Love you in a place
Where there's no world, space or time
And I love you, I love you, love you for my life
'Cause you are a friend of mine
When my life, when my life is over
Remember when we were together baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Ooh, we were alone now, and I was singing this song for you
Sang, said we were alone and I was singing this song, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Singing this song, for you, ooh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh ooh, ooh yeah
Singing this song, singing this song, singing this song, ooh, yeah
I've sung a lot of songs, 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 for you
I treated you unkindly, 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 singing this song for you
You came out in front and I was hiding, oh, oh, ooh yeah
But 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
Ooh ooh oh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, ooh, yeah
I love you for my life 'cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together, together
When we were alone and I was singing this song for you, ohh, ooh
Oooh, yeah
Love you in a place
Where there's no world, space or time
And I love you, I love you, love you for my life
'Cause you are a friend of mine
When my life, when my life is over
Remember when we were together baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Sang, said we were alone and I was singing this song, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Singing this song, for you, ooh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh ooh, ooh yeah
Singing this song, singing this song, singing this song, ooh, yeah

Oh this song is just in some other level. This is a song written by Leon Russel in the 60s, that has been performed by several artists, but this is my favourite version so far. I love the passion Christina shows while singing it, it blows you away, it makes my weep everytime I listen to it. Probably because of the meaning, that I assume has to do with a relationship that has somehow gone bad, and it's too late to turn back time. I feel like she is broken-hearted, remembering those beautiful past times when they were so close together...no matter how much time it's been, she won't forget. She wants him to remember her as well, even when it's been so long.
It touches me in every single way. I reminds me of those friends that got in the way, just because life goes on, especially my dearest friend-first love, who has been in and out of my life for six years now. I know that even when we are (or never even were) together, he will always been something special for me, no matter what comes my way. He's always there, he is unreplaceable, and I only hope that he remembers me sometime, and that we have the chance to meet again to talk about those times...and feel good about it, and not hurt like this. Cause "I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life... 'cause you're a friend of mine"
this song is just so beautiful and christina's voice just made it even more beautiful. i love love love it.
my favorite part is: Listen to the melody 'cause my love is in there hiding.
it's genius.
