If You Could See Me Now

.

Oh, if you could see me now

Oh, if you could see me now

.

It was February 14th, Valentines Day

The roses came, but they took you away

Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm

All the harm, gotta keep myself calm

But the truth is you''re gone

And I''ll never get to show you these songs

Dad, you should see the tours that I''m on

I see you standing there next to mom

Both singing along, yeah arm in arm

There are days when I''m losing my faith

Because the man wasn''t good - he was great!

He''d say, "Music was the home for your pain"

And explain I was young, he would say

"Take that rage, put it on a page,

Take the page to the stage, blow the roof off the place."

I''m tryin'' to make you proud, do everything you did

I hope you''re up there with God sayin'' "That''s my kid"

.

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh, if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh, if you could see me now

.

Oh, if you could see me now

Yeah

.

If you could see me know would you recognize me

Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?

Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face

Put your hand on the heart that was cold as the day you were taken away

I know it''s been a while but I can see you clear as day

Right now, I wish he could hear you say,

I drink too much and I smoke too much Dutch

But if you can''t see me now that ****''s a must.

He used to say I won''t know ''til it cost me

Like I won''t know real love ''til I''ve loved and I''ve lost it

So if you''ve lost a sister, someone''s lost a mom

And if you''ve lost a dad, then someone''s lost a son

And they''re all missing now, and they''re all missing now

So if you get a second to look down at me now

Mom, dad, I''m just missin'' you now

.

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh, if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh, if you could see me now

Oh

.

Would you call me a saint or a sinner?

Would you love me, loser or winner?

Oh

.

When I see my face in the mirror

We look so alike that it makes me shiver

Oh

.

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh, if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh, if you could see me now

.

I still look for your face in the crowd

Oh, if you could see me now

Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow

Oh, if you could see me now

Oh, if you could see, you could see me now...
