Just yesterday the memory came to me
Of the day I finally told you
Our love wasn't meant to be
The day I let you down
I wanted to feel the wind fill my sails
But I saw you as a harbor
As a anchor in the gales
That's not the way I see you now
Time makes us wise
Time makes us fools
I never looked in your eyes
I look past them somehow
I wish that I had seen you then
The I see you now
You had a power in those gentle hands
A quiet peace about you
My heart couldn't understand
Like snow upon the ground
You saw so much invisible to me
The woman in you waited
For the man I was to be
That's the way I see you now
I finally see you now
Time makes us wise
Time makes us fools
I never looked in your eyes
I look past them somehow
I wish that I had seen you then
The I see you now
That's the way I see you now
I finally see you now
