You Should See The Way It Feels Lyrics - David Wilcox

It may look to you like nothing much to see 

But you should see the way it feels to me 

Here's the sidewalk I used to ride my bike 

Down this little slope, down my little mountain 

Start by the driveway spinning up to speed 

Careful of that gravel 'cause it's nasty on the knees 

Watch out for the branches on that apple tree 

Soar down to the corner 

Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember 

It might not be a mountain after all 

But it was hard enough to climb and steep enough to coast 

Long enough to satisfy and fast enough to boast 

It may look to you like nothing much to see 

But you should see the way it feels to me 

Here's the tree-house I used to spend my night 

Up this little tree, way up in my mansion 

Jump to the first branch, walk it upside down 

Careful of your grip 'cause it's a long way to the ground 

Better get a handhold before you look around 

You can see into forever 

Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember 

It might not be a mansion after all 

But it was hard enough to climb and safe enough to sleep 

Big enough to satisfy and home enough for me 

It may look to you like nothing much to see 

But you should see the way it feels to me 

Here's the old man who used to be the child 

So long ago, not so very long though 

Look at the memory, think of all those years 

Looking through the sparkle of the sunlight in the tears 

Better take another look before you disappear 

You can see across your lifetime 

So I look at where I've come and where I'm going 

I will never be the greatest after all 

But it was hard enough to climb to get to where I've been 

Love enough to satisfy and life enough to live 

I may look to you like nothing much to be 

But you should see the way it feels to me 

You should see the way it feels to me
