A Song for You
Chris Botti & Michael Buble Lyrics

I've been so many places
I have traveled to many different locations

In my life and time
Throughout all of my years of existence

I've sung a lot of songs
I have performed many musical compositions

I've made some bad rhymes
Some of my lyrics have been poorly written

I've acted out my life in stages
I have presented my life experiences to an audience

With ten thousand people watching
A large group of people were observing me

But we're alone now
In this moment, it is just the two of us

And I'm singing this song for you
I am dedicating this performance to you

I know your image of me
I am aware of the perception you have of who I am

Is what I hope to be
I aspire to live up to that image

I've treated you unkindly
I have not always been kind to you

But girl can't you see,
Can you not comprehend

There's no one more important to me
You are the most valuable person in my life

So darling can't you please see through me,
Understand me beyond what is obvious

'Cause we're alone now
With just the two of us present

And I'm singing my song for you,
I am performing this piece solely for you

You taught me precious secrets
You have shared valuable insights with me

Of a true love withholding nothing,
The essence of a genuine love without conditions

You came out in front
You took the lead

When I was hiding,
When I was trying to remain unseen

Ooh but now its so much better
It has improved significantly

So if my words don't quite come together,
If my lyrics are not entirely coherent

Listen to the melody
Pay attention to the tune

'Cause my love is in there hiding
The underlying emotion of love is embedded in the music

I love you in a place
I love you on a level that is indescribable

where there's no space or time,
Beyond the constraints of physical dimensions

I love you for my life
You are an essential part of my existence

'Cause you're a friend of mine,
Because you are my close companion

And when my life is over
At the end of my life

Remember when we were together
Recall the moments we shared

And we were alone now,
In those instances of solitude

And I was singing my song for you
When I was performing for you

Woow for you
Expressing admiration and dedication to you

Mmm
Vocalizing an emotional response
