If Only I Could See - Maximilian Hecker

If only I could see

What you mean to me

To leave you in the dark

And almost break your heart!

If only I could prize

What you gave to me

I’d stand up from this daze

To hand it back to thee

All I raise is bewilderment

And I don’t want to cause you pain

But I’ll be losing in the end

I’ll be longing anyway

I’ll be crying for a friend

If only I could find

Where my ardour sleeps

I’d wake it and make it shine

And down the road I’d reap

If only I could say

The words you long to hear

To wipe your tears away

And share our lives, my dear!

All I raise is entanglement

And I don’t want to cause you pain

And in the silence of the night

I have lost you out of sight
