Lyrics Let Me Sing for You - Kenny Rogers

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...
CHORUS2:
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.
CHORUS2: (drop the last 5 words and blend into a repeat.)
