I Don't See Them

歌詞

The wrinkles on your face, I don't see them Your hairs fall out of place, I don't see them The birthdays that you miss, and the kisses you resist Many other clench their fists, but I don't see them I don't see a single thing Not the names or mud they sling All I have is what you bring when I see you The compliment that passed, I don't hear them The hiss of snakes in grass, I don't hear them Although no longer here, your every thought will raise a cheer I toast the wine and every beer, and I still hear you But I don't hear the out of tune Songs you sing from room to room All I hear is angels' croon when I see you If I saw your face, it wouldn't compensate And it won't replace that vacancy, that space Although you make no sound, I still hear you You're six feet under ground, but I still dig you And the man who tends the flowers When our summer turns autumn showers I count the minutes and the hours that I don't see you You took this heart and made it melt You took this knees and got them nailed I still feel the way I felt when I first saw you If I saw your face it wouldn't compensate And it won't replace that vacancy, that space For he's good to me Looking down sometimes, it's good for me Brings me flowers on a rainy day My love so very good to me Can't you see? He's good to me Beyond the last years and the flyaways Beyond any doubt beyond the grave My love so very good to me
