Story Behind The Song
It happens to everybody. There comes a time when the memory of a person loved and lost blurs and with a startling sense of guilt, it hits them. This was actually
written when a friend of mine that perished on 9/11's image went dark.

Lyrics
I CAN'T SEE YOU
© 2011 Williams and Williams
VERSE l
I can't see you - all that's left is just a blur
faded pictures - only colors lines and curves
I can't find you - and the pain is now an ache
and the guilt I feel is too real to take
CHORUS
yesterday I was drowning in your eyes
and your image never faded with good byes
I could draw you - every contour - every line
now I can't see you for the very first time
no I can't see you for the very first time
VERSE ll
time's a healer - were the words that people said
let the months pass - and your heart won't feel so dead
but I loved you - every smile and wrinkled line
you're a shadow for the very first time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
when I close my eyes at night and try to sleep
seems that your memory is buried - too deep
CHORUS
