Lyrics

I’ve been so man y plac es in my (G)life and time.

I’ve sung a lot of songs,

I’ve made some bad rhyme.

I’ve act ed out my life in stag es

with ten thou sand peo ple watch in’.

But dar lin’, we’re a lone

and I’m sing in’ this song for (Eb)you.

I know your i mage of me is what I hope to be.

I treat ed you un kind ly.

Can’t you see

there’s no more im por tant to me.

So, dar lin’, won’t you please see through me,

’cause dar lin’ we’re a lone

and I’m (Ab)sing in’ this song for (Eb)you.

You taught me pre cious se crets of the truth, with (F7)hold ing noth in’.

You came out (Ab)in front.

Well, ba by, I was hid in’.

But now I’m (G)so much bet ter

I love you in a place

where there’s no space or time.

We were a lone
