Lyrics
Lyrics & Music ©2024 - Mitch Cooper
[Intro - chorus]
I, C, U,
Three letters on a sign.
But they mean, that you're still here, you are still mine
I see you fighting, I know you're strong
I see our love, how much I long
For you to reach out to my hand,
Get up on your feet and stand
And share another day
Another moment, Another chapter
In the story of our life
[Verse 1]
Through a maze of tubes and wires
I see you, still shining bright.
Your love for life, it never tires.
A searchlight shining through the darkest night
[chorus]
I, C, U,
Three letters on a sign.
But they mean, that you're still here, you are still mine
I see you fighting, I know you're strong
I see our love, how much I long
For you to reach out to my hand,
Get up on your feet and stand
And share another day
Another moment, Another chapter
In the story of our life
(oooo)I See You
(I see you-)
[Verse 2]
Monitors, they map your heartbeat's song.
The rhythm lives inside my soul.
Fluids drip, machines they breathe your air.
I feel your strength.
but I have no, control.
(oooo)
I see you? (can you see me?)
(ahhhhhhh)
Can you?
Can you see me?
[Bridge]
They say that seeing -
is believing.
But I believe -
in what I feel .
You can't touch me,
but I know you're there
I'll be by yours side
I'll be the power to heal.
[chorus]
I, C, U,
Three letters on a sign.
But they mean, that you're still here, you are still mine
I see you fighting, I know you're strong
I see our love, how much I long
For you to reach out to my hand,
Get up on your feet and stand.
And share another day,
Another moment, Another chapter.
In the story. of our life
I see you (I see you)
I see you (I see you)
I see you-
