[Eeva_r&b]

A song to you

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
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 hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
But darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
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 the true love
witholding nothing
You came out in front
and 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 are 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.


(By Donny Hathaway)


Veoma jednostavno napisana,bez ukrasa,bez ikakvih metafora, jedna od meni najdrazih pesama svih vremena...Ponekad najmanje reci nose najvece emocije.
Mislim da je ova pesma legendarnog D.Hathaway-a pravi primer za 'less is more'.
