Can’t You See?
I look at you,
You turn your head,
You tie your shoe
As if I’m dead-
If but you knew.
Why I look,
I can’t explain-
The glance I took,
Without a brain-
An open book.
Can’t you feel,
Can’t you see
You’re everything to me?
You’re honest and true,
You’re funny and smart-
You’re an angel’s bright hue
And a genius at art-
I’m too plain for you.
Your eyes are my sun
Your voice, my light
Your laughter’s my fun
Your guidance my sight-
You’re the one.
Why can’t you hold me near?
Why can’t you love me dear?
You’re in my dreams,
Wrapped in my arms-
I’m buried deep
Beneath your charms
While counting sheep.
Even when I write
My love as day
Fades in to night,
I know you’ll never feel the way
That I have felt tonight.
Can’t you see, can’t you feel
A cut from you will never heal?
Can’t you see me
And you-together
Sitting by the sea?
A blue sky-fair weather
Wouldn’t we be free?
But it can’t be this way
For as the days go,
I know you won’t stay.
And I’ll cry
As you walk away.
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you see?
