If Only I Could See

Maximilian Hecker

If only i could see
What you mean to me
To leave you in the dark
And almost break your heart!

If only i could prize
What you gave to me
I’d stand up from this daze
To hand it back to thee

All i raise is bewilderment
And i don’t want to cause you pain

But i’ll be losing in the end
I’ll be longing anyway
I’ll be crying for a friend

If only i could find
Where my ardour sleeps
I’d wake it and make it shine
And down the road i’d reap

If only i could say
The words you long to hear
To wipe your tears away
And share our lives, my dear!

All i raise is entanglement
And i don’t want to cause you pain

And in the silence of the night
I have lost you out of sight
