To See You, To Hear You

Do you think I could have a light I know it's been a long time Do you see in me what you saw before or have my eyes become those of a stranger I'm not here to complicate things I didn't come to see those tears in your eyes To see your face To hear your voice To know that you still think of me is enough You look good Your eyes look less haunted than before even after all of these years I can't breathe standing this close to you even now if you kiss me I will fall to my knees I see in you all of the things I loved before I'm not here to complicate things I didn't come here for you to see these tears in my eyes To touch your face To hear your voice To feel that you still think of me is enough We both have lives now we both have people we love my man is good and he loves me completely you have a woman that loves you and had given you her all we can't hurt them as we did before So we will share a few cigarettes and talk about the weather leaving everything else unsaid but i will go away happy just to see your face to hear your voice to know that you still think of me is enough
