When You See

If you could see her when she smiles
Her eyes shining bringht from sunken sockets,
Her infectious laught radiating out
from a mouth that issues words beyond its age,
The dimple that could never marr
An angelic face that's fallen from heaven.

When you see this side this side of her
Maybe then we can talk about times gone by
Or about a future for us all to enjoy.

If you could see how happy I can be
When the world is at  peace and free,
There aren't any clouds in the sky
And rain serves only to feed the flowers,
I can do whatever I feel like,
Sing out loud, swim a mile or fly like a bird.

When you see this side this side of me
Maybe then we can talk about times gone by
Or about a future for us all to enjoy.

If you could see the opportunities in life
Set out in front of you to pick and choose,
You look so miserable and I don't know why
You bring the world down around your ears
When it should be a solid structure forever,
You can't live without risk or joy.

When you see this side this side of life
Maybe then we can talk about times gone by
Or about a future for us all to enjoy.

If you could see the warmth and tenderness
That lives deep in your cold and leaden heart,
The you that brought me flowers through the rain,
The you that cried for a child never seen or heard;
It's only fame to be taken by the madness of the world;
The you that gave me reason to live when all was lost.

When you see this side this side of you
Maybe then we can talk about times gone by
Or about a future for us all to enjoy.
