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 youre gone
And Ill never get to show you these songs
Dad , you should see the tours that Im on
I see you standing there next to mom
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm
There are days when Im losing my faith
Because the man wasnt good - he was great!
Hed 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.'
Im tryin to make you proud, do everything you did
I hope youre up there with God sayin 'Thats 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 its 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 cant see me now that ****s a must.
He used to say I wont know til it cost me
Like I wont know real love til Ive loved and Ive lost it
So if youve lost a sister, someones lost a mom
And if youve lost a dad, then someones lost a son
And theyre all missing now, and theyre all missing now
So if you get a second to look down at me now
Mom, dad, Im 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...
