THIS ONE’S FOR YOU

This one’ll never sell, they’ll never understand,
I don’t even sing it well I try but I just can’t.        
But I sing it ev’ry night, and I fight to keep it in ’cause
This one’s for you, this one’s for you.

I’ve done a hundred songs, from fantasies to lies,
But this one’s so real for me that I’m the one who cries.     
And I sing it ev’ry night, and I fight to hide the tears, ’cause
This one’s for you, this one’s for you.

This one’s for you wherever you are,
To say that nothing’s been the same since we’ve been apart. 
This one’s for all the love we once knew,
Like ev’rything else I have, this one’s for you. Oh.

I’ve got it all, it seems, for all it means to me.
So I sing of things I miss and things that used to be.           
And I wonder ev’ry night if you might just miss me too,
And I sing for you, I sing for you.

This one’s for you wherever I go,
To say the things I should have said, things that you should know.                
This one’s to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing ’cause this one’s for you.  Oh…

This one’s for you wherever you are,
To say that nothing’s been the same since we’ve been apart.     
This one’s for all the love we once knew,
Like everything else I have, this one’s for you. Oh!
