Lyrics
If you could see me now
The one who said that he’d rather roam
The one who said he’d rather be alone
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin’ any comfort that I can
Lookin’ back and longin’ for the freedom of my chains
Lyin’ in your lovin’ arms again
If you could hear me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Singin’ somewhere through a lonely night (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Dreamin’ of the arms that held me tight (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
If you could only hear me now
I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin’ any comfort that I can
Lookin’ back and longin’ for the freedom of my chains
Lyin’ in your lovin’ arms again
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (hmm-hmm-hmm)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
