Barry Manilow This One's For You lyrics

This one will never sell, they'll never understand
I don't even sing it well, I try, but I just can't
But I sing it every 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 every 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 everything else I have, this one's for you, oh

I've got it all, it seems, for all it means to me

But I sing of things I miss and things that used to be
And I wonder every 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
