I Don't See Them
Wrinkles on your face I don't see them Hairs fall out of place I don't see them The birthdays that you missed And the kisses you resist Many others clench their fist But I don't see them I don't see a single thing Not the names Or mud they sling All I have is what you bring When I see you The compliments they pass I don't hear them The hiss of snakes in grass I don't hear them Although no longer here Your every thought will raise a cheer I toast the wine and every beer And I still hear you SongtexteBut I don't hear the out of tune Songs you sing from room to room All I hear is angels croon When I see you If I saw your face It wouldn't compensate And it won't replace That vacancy, that space Although you make no sound I still hear you You're 6 feet underground But I still dig you I'm the man who tends the flowers Winter sun to autumn showers I count the minutes and the hours That I don't see you You took this heart and made it melt You took these knees and got them knelt And I still feel the way I felt When I first saw you If I saw your face It wouldn't compensate And it won't replace That vacancy, that space For he's good to me Looking down sometimes It's good for me Brings me flowers on a rainy day My love's so very good to me Can't you see? He's good to me Beyond the last kiss And the final wave Beyond any doubt Beyond the grave My love's so very good to me Aus Songtexte Mania
