A Song for You
BUBLE MICHAEL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
But girl can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darling can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing my song for you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Ooh, but now I'm so much better
So if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love's in there hiding
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
We were alone
And I was singing that song for you
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
And we were alone
And I was singing my song for you
Whoa, for you
Mm

I've been so many places
I have traveled to numerous different locations
In my life and time
Throughout the entirety of my life
I've sung a lot of songs
I have performed many musical compositions
I've made some bad rhymes
I have written some poorly constructed verses
I've acted out my life in stages
I have lived my life publicly, with others watching my every move
With ten thousand people watching
In front of an immense audience
But we're alone now
However at this moment, there are no other individuals around
And I'm singing this song for you
I am currently performing this piece for your benefit
I know your image of me
I am aware of the persona you perceive me to be
Is what I hope to be
It is the facade I aim to portray
I've treated you unkindly
Unfortunately, I have not treated you with kindness
But girl can't you see
However, can you not understand
There's no one more important to me
There is no person who holds a greater level of significance in my life
So darling can't you please see through me
Therefore, my love, try to understand me on a deeper level
'Cause we're alone now
As we are currently the only individuals present
And I'm singing my song for you
I am performing this musical composition specifically for you
You taught me precious secrets
You have imparted valuable information and knowledge unto me
Of a truth withholding nothing
Of an honest and complete nature
You came out in front and I was hiding
You were brave enough to step forward while I was retreating
Ooh, but now I'm so much better
But currently, I have significantly improved
So if my words don't come together
Thus, if my expression is not coherent
Listen to the melody
Focus on the harmonic structure
'Cause my love's in there hiding
As my love is embedded within the sonic elements
I love you in a place
My love for you is not bound by physical location
Where there's no space or time
As it exists outside the constraints of the material realm
I love you for my life
I love you for the entirety of my existence
'Cause you're a friend of mine
As you are a close companion of mine
And when my life is over
At the conclusion of my lifetime
Remember when we were together
Reflect upon the moments when we shared space with one another
We were alone
There were no other people around us
And I was singing that song for you
During that time, I was performing that melody specifically for you
And when my life is over
At the conclusion of my lifetime
Remember when we were together
Recall the moments we spent in each other's company
And we were alone
During which we were solitary beings
And I was singing my song for you
Though I was performing that musical piece for you
Whoa, for you
For the sake of you
Mm

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, 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
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, 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 withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

I have this CD and I truly think this is a 'musical souffle.......' Michael at his absolute best...This composition, musically, the lyrics are delicious, and the whole arrangement is perfection.. xx 2.2021.Incredible!!

I remember seeing him live in Florida, and he played this song last. But that's not what was so incredible and memorable about it's performance. The last few lines of the song, he made the entire stadium be quiet and he sung it WITHOUT a microphone. I was at the top of the building and I'm deaf. I heard him singing it clear as day.
Absolutely incredible.
boonestead
Passenger does that to the audience as well asks them to be quiet and please listen then he sings Sounds of Silence so friggin awesome and you could hear a pin drop
TheHorrorOfHolly
It's incredible! Definitely something to be blown away by! And the thing that's so amazing is the fact that I'm deaf and I still heard him loud and clear! Plus with the fact that I love Bublé more than anything hahah!
