If You Could See Me Now Lyrics

Daddy you're the one who taught me how to sing and play my first guitar
You're the one who told me Elvis was the king and he's the one who sets the bar
Daddy you're the one who taught me how to dream ands wish upon a star
Every chance I get, you bet I won't forget
If you could see me now you would be so proud
Dad I hope I'm everything that you dreamed about
I've got a wife that loves me, a little child that hugs me
Every Sunday morning we sing praises just like you and Momma raised me
Dad if you could only see me now
You played guitar every night at home on that worn out leather couch
Singing some good Gospel song that makes you wanna shout
I remember like it was yesterday, Dad, time goes by so fast
Every chance I get, you bet I won't forget
If you could see me now you would be so proud
Dad I hope I'm everything that you dreamed about
I've got a wife that loves me, a little child that hugs me
Every Sunday morning we sing praises just like you and Momma raised me
Dad if you could only see me now
If you could see me now you would be so proud
Dad I hope I'm everything that you dreamed about
I've got a wife that loves me, a little child that hugs me
Every Sunday morning we sing praises just like you and Momma raised me
I thank you for the life you gave me
Dad if you could only see me 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.
