I see your face before me
Arthur Schwartz
I have a life inside
That's all mine
I feel it growing strong
Inside of me now
As I lay here on my bed, I know
My days ahead won't be alone
Can't you see a change in my face
I'm a stranger to myself in so many ways
I have lived inside a storm before
But now I'm living for something more
And I've been a child
A tomboy tough and wild
Ready for a fight
But now I get to be
Somebody new for me
As I hold you
And if you heard my story
You wouldn't be ashamed of me at all
Forgive me if I dream out loud
But I love you like that man I loved
Seeing you would make him feel so proud
And I've been a child
A tomboy tough and wild
Ready for a fight
But now I get to be
Somebody new for me
As I hold you gently
And kiss your sleepy eyes
