Song for You
Avery Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
And I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we were alone now
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
And darling, darling can't you see that,
There's no one more important to me
baby can't you see right through me,
That we were alone now
And I was singing this song to you,
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love with holding nothing,
see you came out in front
When I was hiding,
Ooh and now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together,
Just listen to this melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
where there was no space or time,
I love you for my life
you're a friend of mine,
And when my life is over
Just remember when we were together
we were alone,
And I was singing this song to you
To you
I love you in a place
where there was no space or time,
I love you for my life
you're a friend of mine,
And when my life is over
Just 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 to you
I was singing my song baby
I was singing this song to you

I've been so many places
I have traveled to numerous destinations
In my life and time
Throughout my life thus far
I've sung a lot of songs
I have performed many musical pieces
And I've made some bad rhymes
And some of those pieces had subpar lyrics
I've acted out my life on stages
I have theatrically portrayed my experiences
With ten thousand people watching
With large audiences observing
But we were alone now
In this moment, there were only us
And I was singing this song to you
And I was performing this specific piece for you
I know your image of me
I comprehend your perception of me
Is what I hope to be
I aspire to be exactly what you expect
I've treated you unkindly
I have been less than kind to you
And darling, darling can't you see that,
And my dear, my dear, can't you recognize that
There's no one more important to me
There is nobody more significant than you to me
baby can't you see right through me,
Sweetheart, can't you perceive me transparently
That we were alone now
That we were the only two in this moment
And I was singing this song to you,
And I was performing this specific piece for you
You taught me precious secrets
You imparted invaluable knowledge
Of a true love with holding nothing,
About a genuine, selfless love
see you came out in front
You exceeded me in displaying that love
When I was hiding,
At a time when I was apprehensive
Ooh and now I'm so much better
And now, I am significantly improved
And if my words don't come together,
And if my lyrics are inarticulate
Just listen to this melody
Simply listen to this tune
'Cause my love is in there hiding
Because my love is concealed within the piece
I love you in a place
I adore you at a level
where there was no space or time,
Where neither space nor time mattered
I love you for my life
I love you for my entire life
you're a friend of mine,
You are my friend
And when my life is over
And when my life comes to a conclusion
Just remember when we were together
Recall the moments we spent united
we were alone,
Only we existed in those moments
And I was singing this song to you
And I performed this piece for you
We were alone,
In that moment, it was just us
And I was singing this song to you
And I performed this piece for you
We were alone,
In that moment, it was just us
And I was singing this song to you
And I performed this piece for you
I was singing my song baby
I was performing my melody, my love
I was singing this song to you
I performed this piece for you

Oh my God bruuuh!? who are you? You have the most melodious voice I've ever heard from any other man on this Earth! Your tone is so pure that it could only come from God. Your voice is the male equivalent of the purity in Whitney Houston's voice.
I found your video after seeing Kodi Lee perform this song on America's Got Talent. Therefore I have been searching for the best rendition of it every since but now I think I can stop searching because I have found you!!!
You have an extraordinary gift from the almighty creator, a phenomenal Talent, very handsome, and intelligent. You will continue using your blessings by continuing to astonish the world!
I feel so blessed to have heard you, you are quite sensational and remarkable.
Continue to diligently pursue your highest dreams as you are already a Super Star!!
PLEASE use your ANOINTED voice and the power of positive words to Glorify God and to lead mankind into discovering what their Devine calling is in this life.
And thank you for sharing your voice with the universe... you will forever be blessed. Amen

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some mad 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 hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
'Cause we we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love, you wanted nothing
You came out in front and 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
Your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We we're 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 my life
Your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you
We we're alone and I was singing this song to you

Runs and vibrato. This is what makes this version so special. Those who criticize: try to do a quarter of what he did!
Only old school folks will understand this wonderful way of singing.
@richiejames4412
To much riffs and runs it ruined a perfectly good song you can’t tell me you listened to that and didn’t think that “this is annoying” 🤣🤣
@bigfeeter
Do you know why he does so many runs with his voice?
BECAUSE HE CAN!!🤷🏾♂️
Some people just don't understand the gift of song.
Great cover!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@jamaalspeaks4380
Yep
@richiejames4412

@sharonkutz8272
Does not ruin the song. Each singer has a different take on the song.
