Kenny Rogers — Let Me Sing for You

One bright, sunny day I set on my way to look for a place on this Earth My life was a song just 3 minutes long And, that's about all it was worth I wandered around unlost and unfound, unnoticed and misunderstood Each thing that I tried just lessened my pride Guess I didn't do very good Then I saw you lookin' just like I felt So, I walked up to you and I said Let me sing for you It's not much to ask after all I've been through Let me sing for you At least there's still one thing I know that I know how to do I found you alone, no love of your own I gave you a shiny new toy I made you feel good as best as I could And, I was your rainy-day boy I held you so near but you held this fear And felt like you'd been there before The spell that was cast was too good to last Soon the toy wasn't new any more So, I asked for some time and, you gave me a watch If it's that late already again Let me sing for you It's not much to ask after all we've been through Let me sing for you At least there's still one thing I know that I know how to do Now, you love to live, and I love to give So, tell me what difference it makes If back in our youth we'd both known the truth We might have made different mistakes You need a toy bear with soft, fuzzy hair To lay next to you while you sleep And, I love you too much to lessen my touch That's one promise I couldn't keep And, I'm not man enough to make love to you While you hold me an arm's length away Let me sing for you It's not much to ask after all we've been through Let me sing for you At least there's still one thing I know that I know how to do
