Lyrics
In a dream last night, you came back
You’d been gone so many years
Time had no effect on your philosophy
You could see I’d finally found my way to a family man’s career
And become the man you wanted me to be
From the time I sat and wondered on your knee
There was a perfect plan, custom made for me
This is not what I was thinking it might be
If you could See Me Now
If you could only See Me Now
There’s a woman I have lived with; seems like forever now
Sometimes we’re in love: sometimes we’re not
There’s a girl and boy, you don’t know by name
They got your eyes and your gentle guise
And your blood runs through their veins
A point in time; a revelation shown
Until that time we’re living off a loan
Until we find out we inherit all we own
If you could See Me Now
If you could only See Me Now
On the coldest nights, I lie awake in bed
In a room, behind a door, inside my head
I’m alone with all the words I never said
If you could See Me Now
If you could only See Me Now
If you could see me now, I’d tell you what I feel
We’d resolve all of our differences
I’d get down on my knees and bow, if you could only see me now
