See You As I Do
Trijntje Oosterhuis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you ask just what it is I see in you
Well it's every little thing you do
You make me smile
Well it's something that I can't put my finger on
And we've only just begun
I'm like a child

You're a sweet melody
I keep singing all over and over again
Such a pure harmony
And I just won't stop feeling the way I do

If you could see you as I do
You'd fall in love with you too
No matter how hard you keep trying
You will never see what I see in you

Well it's something, something I can't explain
When you're near me I just go insane
You make me lose control
Like a brother, a friend to lend a helping hand
You always seem to understand
You catch me when I fall

And when I sing out of key
Or the words that I'm saying just don't come out right
You just love me for me
If you could see you as I do
You'd fall in love with you too
No matter how hard you keep trying
You will never see what I see in you

Imagine as the lights go down
We don't hear a sound
You and I together
As you take my hand
Lead me to the dance
Now and forever

If you could see you as I do
You'd fall in love with you too
No matter how hard you keep trying
You will never see what I see in you
If only you could see you as I do
Then maybe you could see what I see in you




If only you could see you as I do
Then maybe you could see what I see in you

So you ask just what it is I see in you
You inquire about the qualities that I find attractive in you


Well it's every little thing you do
It's the combination of all the small things you do that add up to make you so special to me


You make me smile
You bring joy to my life and make me happy


Well it's something that I can't put my finger on
I can't explain it, but there's a certain quality about you that I find irresistible


And we've only just begun
Our relationship is still new and there's so much more to discover about each other


I'm like a child
I feel young and carefree when I'm with you


You're a sweet melody
You are like a beautiful song that I can't stop listening to


I keep singing all over and over again
I can't get enough of you and I constantly think about you


Such a pure harmony
Our connection is genuine and authentic

My feelings for you are strong and won't fade away


If you could see you as I do
If you could view yourself through my eyes

You won't be able to recognize all of the qualities that make you special to me

Like a brother, a friend to lend a helping hand
You are like a supportive sibling or reliable friend who is always there for me


You always seem to understand
You have empathy and are able to relate to my experiences and emotions


You catch me when I fall
You support me and help me through difficult times


And when I sing out of key
Even when I don't perform perfectly


Or the words that I'm saying just don't come out right
Or when I struggle to express myself


You just love me for me
You love me unconditionally


Imagine as the lights go down
Picture the scene as the lights dim


We don't hear a sound
There is complete silence


You and I together
We are united as a couple


As you take my hand
As you hold my hand


Lead me to the dance
Lead me to the dance floor


Now and forever
For all eternity


If only you could see you as I do
If only you could perceive yourself as I do


Then maybe you could see what I see in you
Then perhaps you would comprehend what I find so special about you
