If Only You Could Know by Michael C. McGehee I see you in your sea of despond For some reason, I am unable to respond I want to swim out to offer you hope But I am bound by this rugged rope I lay here pinned to the safe shore As I watch you struggle even more I want to reach out with my hand Seize you and bring you back to land Dry all the tears from your eyes Kiss you and make you realize That I want to be close to you I want you to trust that I am true From my feet I've been swept My promises will never go unkept But you don't know these thoughts I keep Because you're drowning, the water's too deep Now here I am, restrained and helpless And there you are, thinking I'm careless
