what do you see?
can you tell me,
what do you see?
when you look at me,
do you see pain and sorrow,
what do you see?
in the child that bares your name,
do you feel anything?
what do you see?
when there are crowds of people all around,
and your nowhere to be found,
what do you see?
in the person you chose as your mate,
does she fill your heart with happiness,
what do you see?
in the world you live in,
does it seem fair,
what do you see?
when someone touches your soul,
with words so bold,
what do you see?
when someone you love passes away,
does your heart fill with sadness and regret,
what do you see?
every day as you try and make sense of your life,
what do you see?
hiding in my eyes,
the forgotten passion of a love long since past,
what do you see?
in the cool night air
the stars shining so bright,
what do you see?
when the sun is dawning anew,
another day to find the love you once knew,
what do you see?
standing in front of you
with her arms open wide to receive you,
could it be me that you see,
or just a faded memory,
please, oh please tell me
what you see in me?
