[Intro: Solo acoustic guitar, delicate repetitive fingerpicking, intimate and unhurried]

[Verse 1: Low gravelly baritone, soft intimate singing, natural breath and vulnerability]

You were standing in the kitchen
With your hair pulled back again
Laughing at some silly story
That you'd told me once before

And I was standing there just watching
With a smile I couldn't hide
You turned around and caught me staring
And asked what was on my mind

[Verse 2: Warm raspy vocal, growing tenderness, slightly more emotional]

I've seen you walk into a room
And make somebody feel at home
I've watched you give the best of yourself
To people you've barely known

And you never make a fuss about it
It's just the way you've always been
But I swear I fall a little harder
Every time I see it happen again

[Chorus: Voice opens naturally, stronger chest resonance, heartfelt sustained notes, restrained emotional intensity]

If you could see what I see
When I'm looking at you
You'd understand why after all these years
I'm still so in love with you

It's in a hundred little moments
And everything you do
If you could see what I see
You'd know how much I love you

[Verse 3: Return to intimate warmth, natural gravel, tender phrasing with growing conviction]

I know the sound of your laughter
Before I even see your face
And somehow when you walk into a room
It becomes my favorite place

I love the way you reach for my hand
Without even thinking twice
And how you still can make me smile
When I've had a hell of a night

[Chorus: More powerful and emotionally exposed, fuller rasp, longer sustained notes, building intensity]

If you could see what I see
When I'm looking at you
You'd understand why after all these years
I'm still so in love with you

It's not just how you make me feel
It's the woman I've come to know
And every day I spend beside you
There's another reason I love you so

[Bridge: Continuous emotional rise, each phrase stronger, raw melodic singing, increasing vocal intensity, guitar remains delicate]

And I've tried a thousand different ways
To tell you what you mean to me
But every time I think I've said it all
There's something else I see

The way you care, the way you love
The way you give without a thought
And every time I look at you
I'm reminded of all I've got

[Bridge Climax: Voice climbs higher, passionate sustained notes, natural vocal cracks, overwhelming love without shouting]

If I could show you for one moment
What happens inside of me
When you walk into the room
And turn around and smile at me

[Final Chorus: Emotional peak, soaring raw raspy chest voice, long aching sustained notes, powerful melodic delivery, voice nearly breaking with love, acoustic guitar only]

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SEE
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
YOU'D KNOW THAT ALL THESE YEARS TOGETHER
HAVE ONLY MADE MY LOVE MORE TRUE

AND IF THE WHOLE WORLD STOPPED AROUND US
AND THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO DO
I'D STILL BE STANDING HERE IN WONDER
AT THE WOMAN I FOUND IN YOU

[Outro: Return to barely audible intimate singing, soft fragile rasp, delicate fingerpicked guitar, slow natural ending]

You turned around and caught me staring
And asked what was on my mind

I smiled and said I love you

But there's so much more inside

[End]
