Michael Crawford › Lyrics › If You Could See Me Now

Here they come every night the same
Silent stars, light from a distant flame
Just like the memories of you that I hold inside
I feel you touch but all the warmth has died

Empty rooms crowded by the past
Time is my enemy, days keep moving faster
But the nights alone can be an eternity
That never heals the scars of foolish pride

If only you could see me, now
Goodbye is not so easy, now
The freedom that I walked away to gain
Is nothing but these chains
That you alone can break

And you would free me, now
Your heart would come undone
Just looking at me once
And my love would bring you back
If only you could see me, now

Here I am, stranger to a smile
Trying to fight the tears, missing by a mile
I'm not the one who laughed at you on that yesterday
When you warned me not to throw your love away

If you could only see me, now
Goodbye is not so easy, now
The freedom that I walked away to gain
Is nothing but these chains
I know your heart would break

If you could hear me, now
Your heart would come undone
If you could hear me once
Hoping love will bring you back
If only you could see me, now

Like the lonely moon you see above
That sails the dark alone forever
I have no light of my own
Other the love we've known
So long ago, together

If you could feel me, now
Your heart would come undone
If you could touch me once
I know love will bring you back
If only you could see me, now
See me now
