That year in oakland high
When i was seventeen
The grass from there to san jose
Was high and cool and green
I see it now
Too brash and young was i
To know what time could mean
The old acacia lawn cut down
Was felt but never seen
I see it now
That world i knew is lost to me
Loves have come and gone
The years go racing by
I live as best i can
And all at once i know it means the making of a man
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
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
You know i didn’t see that fire in you he’s found
Oh but i see it now
(chorus)
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
(repeat chorus)
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
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
You know i didn’t see that fire in you he’s found
Oh but i see it now
(chorus)
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
(repeat chorus)
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
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
You know i didn’t see that fire in you he’s found
Oh but i see it now
(chorus)
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
(repeat chorus)
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
