Analysis of IF I COULD SEE YOU...
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
IF I COULD SEE YOU...
If I could see you again
One more time, one more day
Knowing it was the end,
What would I do and say?
Time keeps moving, still
Around the place you once stood
I can feel you there, still
So I live as I know you would
If I could see you once again
I'd tell you I am fine, strong
I survived the pain , and laugh again
And love you all along
I can almost see you smile...
