Can You See Me

Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

Did you see me mow the lawn on an angle like you used to do?
Did you see me wash your truck the way you made it look brand new?
Did you watch me stumble taking out the trash on Tuesday night?
And when I held your flannel shirt did you hear me cry?

Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Cuz right now you seem so far
Are you with me?
Can you feel me?
When I look up at those blue mountain stars
Can you see me from where you are?

Do you laugh when it takes me five tries to bait a fishing hook?
Do you read over my shoulder when I can't put down your favorite book?
Do you sing along when our son plays your mandolin?
And when I go to bed at night do you tuck me in?

Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Cuz right now you seem so far
Are you with me?
Can you feel me?
When I look up at those blue mountain stars
Can you see me from where you are?

I pick your prize tomatoes, a cardinal lands nearby
I hear a voice from somewhere say "that's my wife"

I know you can see me
You can hear me.
When I look up at those blue mountain stars
I know you can reach me
I know you can touch me
Even though you are so far
You can feel me from where you are
Beyond those blue mountain stars
You can see me
