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.
You, you I see in my mirror in the morning
Instead of seeing me I see you
I see your face,
Inside me is a growing need for your embrace
In the light of day though our faces meet
Some one there might see so we never speak
Though its wrong I know, still I love you so
Ah, it's you
You, my sweetest joy
I can't afford the best of life
I'm just a hard working boy
It's you giving your love to me
I can't let you hurt yourself by being seen with me
Meeting in shadows you friends must never know
That we are lovers
Although it hurts me so
For you see no one must see the precious love your giving me
Ah, ah, ooh, ooh
In the light of day, though our faces meet
Some one there might see so we never speak
Though it's wrong I know still I love you so
Ah, you I see, I see you in my mirror in the morning
Instead of seeing me I see you
I see your face
And inside me is a growing need of your embrace
You, ah, I see you
You, I see you, I see you
You, I see you
