"I Wrote This Song For You" lyrics - WILLIE NELSON

I wrote this song for you, I poured out my soul
I hope you hear it on some lonely late night radio
I hope it makes you smile when I'm not there to hold on to
That's the reason why I wrote this song for you

I worked out the melody on my old guitar
Then I finally found the words at the bottom of my heart
I know that that's not much, but you know it's what I do
The music speaks for me, so I wrote this song for you

You never asked me once to give up on my dream
I know it's a sacrifice for love, someone like me
I really don't know how you do it, but you do
That's why I sat down and I wrote this song for you

I worked out this melody on my old guitar
Then I finally found the words at the bottom of my heart
I know that that's not much, but you know it's what I do
The music speaks for me, so I wrote this song for you

The music speaks for me, so I wrote this song for you
