I See It Now Lyrics

It's good to see your face again
It's been awhile
How am I doing?
Well, I get by, somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
And though I didn't see that fire in you he's found
Oh, but I can see it now

Oh, I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh, but I see it now

Holding him, you never looked more beautiful
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain't no mystery
He's all I couldn't be

Oh, I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh, but I see it now

I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh, but I see it now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

On its surface. this song seems to be about missing an ex, and the pain of watching her happy with another man.

But the song, while being filled with "you" and "your," is dominated by the first-person pronoun, "I." The song is actually about the speaker's failure at loving a woman properly.

It's in the line "He's all I couldn't be." It's not that his ex is more compatible with her new boyfriend, its that he treats her right, knows how to love her. Our speaker can't make a woman happy ("I never saw that look in your eye"), lacks unabashed physical intimacy "(I never had you hold me that tight"), and is unable to sweep a woman off her feet ("I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground").

Such an underrated song by a largely forgotten about singer.
