Jody Stephens, Big Star’s drummer, actually penned “For You” himself after some encouragement from Alex Chilton. Chris Bell gave Jody a guitar and Alex taught him a few chords, thus resulting in this sweet solo composition!
Sometimes I can't help but worship you
I love you and all the things that you do
I thought I'd sit and write this song just for you
To let you know that I am thinking of you
[Chorus]
When I come home so cold at night
You'll have the fireplace burning bright
Thoughts of how it's going to be
And how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you
And in these autumn days
I wander through the leaves
Thinking of those winter nights
I'll spend with you
[Chorus]
For You was written by Jody Stephens.
For You was produced by Jim Dickinson.
