Lyrics

[00:00.02] if you could see me now
[00:01.72] the script
[00:02.72]
[00:03.86] Oh, if you could see me now
[00:06.91]
[00:13.42] Oh, if you could see me now
[00:16.46]
[00:22.12] It was February 14th, Valentines Day
[00:24.93] The roses came, but they took you away
[00:27.03] Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm
[00:29.47] All the harm, gotta keep myself calm
[00:31.16] But the truth is you're gone
[00:32.91] And I'll never get to show you these songs
[00:35.28] Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on
[00:37.52] I see you standing there next to mom
[00:39.49] Both singing along, yeah arm in arm
[00:42.32] There are days when I'm losing my faith
[00:44.72] Because the man wasn't good - he was great!
[00:47.12] He'd say, "Music was the home for your pain"
[00:49.18] And explain I was young, he would say
[00:51.09] "Take that rage, put it on a page,
[00:53.32] Take the page to the stage, blow the roof off the place."
[00:55.70] I'm tryin' to make you proud, do everything you did
[00:58.09] I hope you're up there with God sayin' "That's my kid"
[01:00.34] I still look for your face in the crowd
[01:03.62] Oh, if you could see me now
[01:06.22] Oh, if you could see me now
[01:09.55] Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
[01:13.23] Oh, if you could see me now
[01:15.76] Oh, if you could see me now
[01:18.86]
[01:19.76] Yeah
[01:23.00] Oh, if you could see me now
[01:25.12] Yeah
[01:27.82]
[01:28.85] If you could see me know would you recognize me
[01:31.05] Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?
[01:33.40] Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face
[01:35.80] Put your hand on the heart that was cold as the day you were taken away
[01:39.25] I know it's been a while but I can see you clear as day
[01:41.77] Right now, I wish he could hear you say,
[01:43.80] I drink too much and I smoke too much Dutch
[01:45.93] But if you can't see me now that sh*t's a must.
[01:48.55] He used to say I won't know 'til it cost me
[01:51.21] Like I won't know real love 'til I've loved and I've lost it
[01:54.25] So if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
[01:56.40] And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son
[01:58.64] And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now
[02:01.12] So if you get a second to look down at me now
[02:05.22] Mom, dad, I'm just missin' you now
[02:07.16] I still look for your face in the crowd
[02:10.82] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:13.43] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:17.03] Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
[02:20.42] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:23.28] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:26.58]
[02:28.10] Oh,
[02:32.33] Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
[02:34.63] Would you love me, loser or winner?
[02:37.71] Oh
[02:41.85] When I see my face in the mirror
[02:44.07] We look so alike that it makes me shiver
[02:46.30] Oh
[02:46.88] I still look for your face in the crowd
[02:49.35] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:52.01] Oh, if you could see me now
[02:55.42] Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
[02:58.98] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:01.49] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:04.94] I still look for your face in the crowd
[03:08.41] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:11.12] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:14.40] Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
[03:17.92] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:20.76] Oh, if you could see me now
[03:23.04] Oh, if you could see, you could see me now...
