  • If you could see me now
    The one who said that he'd rather roll away
    The one who said he'd rather be alone
    If you could only see me now

    If I could hold you now
    Just for one moment if I could really make you mine
    Just for a while turn back the hands of time
    If you could only hold you now

    I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
    Taking any comfort that I can
    Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
    Lying in your loving arms again

    If you could hear me now
    Singing somewhere through the lonely night
    Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
    If you could only hear me now

    Oh, I've been too long in the wind, yes too long in the rain
    Taking any comfort that I can
    I've been looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
    And lying in your loving arms again
    I can almost feel your loving arms again Writer/s: Thomas Louis Jans
