If Only You Could See Yourself Like I See You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I look in your eyes, I don't want to grow old
And I begin to despise, all of my silver and gold
When I look in your heart, I see blood and water
Water and wine, like seeds in summer
Oh, if only you could see yourself like I see you, ay-aye
When I look at your smile, I see innocence so pure
My smile, oh but yearns and yearns
Oh, if only you could see yourself like I see you, ay-aye
Kenichiyawa kunache kunache
When I look in your light, I see green grass and trees
Seasons defined by the colour of leaves
And you seem so whole at this beautiful stage
Oh, but as you get older, all of this beauty will change
Oh, if only you could see yourself like
I see you, ay-aye
