  • I see your face looking into the space,
    All tired and worried.
    Why does it have to be like this, you and I,
    I wanted us to be happy.

    No one can see me like you do.
    No one can see you like I do.

    I see your face with a trace of life,
    Being a wife and a woman.
    If I ever hurt you, please, remember,
    I wanted you to be happy.

    Is there anything I want more,
    More than your trust and understanding?

    No one can see me like you do.
    No one can see you like I do.

    I wanna quit moving,
    I wanna quit running,
    I wanna relax and be tender.
    I wanna see us together again,
    Rocking away in our walnut chairs.

    Even with your warmth and closeness,
    The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a curse.

    No one can see me like you do.
    No one can see you like I do.

    Even with our dreams and yearnings,
    The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a thirst.

    No one can see me like you do.
    No one can see you like I do.

    No one can see me like you do.
    No one can see you like I do. Writer/s: Yoko Ono

  • Pedro from PortugalJohn loved her, the woman. Respect.
  • Julia from Richland, Wavery true,Sarah. but you have to remember that while Yoko is a very high-strung,emotional artist, John got more recessive during the later years of his life.and(no offense to Yoko)she controlled most of his life up until the end.
  • Sarah from Pittsburgh, Palisten, if john saw something in her, there must be something we don't. you can't criticize yoko without criticizing john, they were very similar people.
