if only you could see yourself like i see you

when i look in your eyes

i don't want to grow old

and i begin to despise

all of my silver and gold

when i look in your heart

i see blood and water

water and wine

like seeds in summer. oh

if only you could see yourself like i see you

ay-aye

when i look at your smile

i see innocence so pure

my smile redials

oh but yearns and yearns

oh

if only you could see yourself like i see you

ay-aye

when i look in your light

i see green grass and trees

seasons defined

by the colour of leaves

and you seem so whole

at this beautiful stage

oh but as you get older

all of this beauty will change

oh

if only you could see yourself like i see you

ay-aye
