A Song for You ;Writer: LEON RUSSELL 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 singing this song for 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 Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 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 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 are a friend of mine And when my life is over remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 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 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 are a friend of mine And when my life is over remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you ----------------------------------- Close to you; Writer: BACHARACH, BURT / DAVID, HAL Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town) Follow you (Follow you) All around (All around) Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town) Follow you (Follow you) All around (All around) Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Close to you (Why? Close to you) (Why? Close to you) (Haa, close to you) (Why? Close to you) ----------------------
