I've been so many places 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 And I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly But darling can't you see There's no one more important to me 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 You wanted nothing You came out in front When 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 my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were 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 You're a friend of mine And when my life is over 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 Singing this song to you
ACTUALLY “A Song for You" is a song written and originally recorded by rock singer and pianist Leon Russell for his first solo album Leon Russell, which was released in 1970 on Shelter Records. A slow, pained plea for forgiveness and understanding from an estranged lover, the tune is one of Russell's best-known compositions.
Nice job. would like to see the great Leon Russell get credit for his song, though,...apparently most of the world thinks Donny Hathaway wrote it...just saying.
I think most people know Leon Russell wrote and sung the song but Donny's version is the one she is covering.Dolly Parton wrote and sung "I will always love you" but singers cover the Whitney Houston version.
I agree with you as you can tell in my comment. Over 200 people covered this song. Imo, Leon is the only one who sang it with the love and emotion it deserves.
I think it is a nice cover. The video is pretty also. I think there is nothing wrong with the country style on her voice. It just makes the cover different.
Nope the Carpenters were not the original and in my opinion the Carpenter's version was to produced overly produced the greatest version of this song was done by Ray Charles the original was Leon Russell.
This IS NOT Donny Hathaway's song. Leon Russell wrote and sung this song for Rita Coolidge in 1970 and included it on his first solo album. Andy Williams and Donny Hathaway covered it in 1971. Since then, over 200 artists have covered this song.
Great piano skills and great voice, but your voice/vocal choice is not appropriate for this paricular song......excessive country twang. I think you know what I mean, Caroline.

@@chado3000 LMAO lies, Donny sang this song better than any other person including the writer
@@yoco7290 You can't cover a version. You can maybe copy the version, you can only cover the original. Don't take ownership away from the creator.
SHADDUP!
I love you!!❤❤
9:15 You light up my life.
Beautifully done! Don't mean to be picky, but it would be more correct to say this is a cover of Leon Russell, since the song was written by him.
in fact its a Leon Russel cover :-)
I think it is a nice cover. The video is pretty also. I think there is nothing wrong with the country style on her voice. It just makes the cover different.
Great
Leon Russel's song !
this is souly powerfull, if that makes sense, thank you
Leon Russell wrote it. Probably Ray Charles did it best. This rendition is very good.
Yes yes absolutely correct. No disrespect to the Donny Hathaway version but Ray Charles owned this song with his performance even Leon said so.
Shelea hasn't done it yet so wait for her version
I don't think Ray's is the best .. still Donny 's
Gr8 👍👍👍👍👍👍
very good and very good interpretation it is like a mix of all singer how made it before....but remember the original perfect Carpenters....
Nope the Carpenters were not the original and in my opinion the Carpenter's version was to produced overly produced the greatest version of this song was done by Ray Charles the original was Leon Russell.
Nope. Leon did it best.
a nice contra-alto voice!
Songoho ho oooo :)
This is not an easy song, especially for a female vocalist.
And this is the moment in your life when you realized that some things in this World can be done just by man.
Leon Russell wrote this not Donny Hathaway
Actually that was written by Leon Russle
