Wash Me Now
Ron & Shelly Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One look is all you'd need to see the mood I'm in.
Perhaps then you'd realize I'm still in love with you.
If you could see me now, you'd find me being brave
And trying awfully hard to make my tears behave
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you.
You'll happen my way on some mem'rable day
I'll try to smile but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile?
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes.
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now.

If you could see me now, you'd know how blue I've been
Looking at me would reveal the sadness that I hide
One look is all you'd need to see the mood I'm in
A single glance would convey the emotions I am experiencing
Perhaps then you'd realize I'm still in love with you
You might finally understand that my feelings for you have not disappeared
If you could see me now, you'd find me being brave
Were you to witness me, you would observe the courage I am attempting to muster
And trying awfully hard to make my tears behave
I am striving to prevent my tears from spilling over
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you.
It is a futile effort as my love for you persists
You'll happen my way on some mem'rable day
There will come a day when you unexpectedly cross my path
And the month will be May for a while.
This encounter is likely to take place in the month of May
I'll try to smile but can I play the part
I will attempt to put on a cheerful facade, but am I capable of doing so?
Without my heart behind the smile?
Can I hide the true feelings of my heart behind a smile?
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
It has always been impossible for me to conceal my love for you
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes.
My deep affection for you is clearly evident in my gaze
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now.
Were you to see the intensity of my current love, I believe a reunion would be inevitable
