[Verse 1] Baby, I know you stop sometimes and stare too long At the woman in the mirror looking back Counting every line the years have drawn Like they're proof of something that you lack But I've been loving you close enough to know The truth the mirror never shows [Verse 2] I don't see what the mirror's been telling you I don't hear what the world says you should be I see the girl who stole my heart back then And the woman still standing here with me I see the hands that folded in the darkness When another hard night came around I see the heart that kept on loving Even when hope was hard to be found [Chorus] I wish you could see what I see Just for one moment, come stand where I stand Look through eyes that have loved you for years And held every season we've had You don't have to shine like the world says you should You don't have to be anyone but Baby I wish you could see what I see You are beautiful to me [Verse 3] I see your smile when it slips out easy Before you remember to hide it away I see your laugh still catch me off guard Like sunlight breaking into the day I see your softness under all the hurting I see the way you still try I see the woman God was shaping Long before you ever met my eyes [Chorus] I wish you could see what I see Just for one moment, come stand where I stand Look through eyes that have loved you for years And held every season we've had You don't have to shine like the world says you should You don't have to be anyone but Baby I wish you could see what I see You are beautiful to me [Bridge] He didn't make a mistake, Baby When He shaped your heart and your name He saw every tear you would carry And loved you just the same [Verse 4] So let me be the voice beside you When your own voice gets unkind Let me hold the lantern for you When the shadows fill your mind I won't ask you to believe it all Before the last note fades away But I'll keep singing what I see Until your heart can hear me say [Final Chorus] I wish you could see what I see Just for one moment, come stand where I stand Look through eyes that have loved you for years And still reach out for your hand You don't have to shine like the world says you should You don't have to be anyone but Baby I wish you could see what I see You are beautiful to me [Outro] I see you, Baby I see you The woman God made The one I still choose I see you, Baby And you're beautiful to me
