If You Could See You Through My Eyes

But somehow everything was said
If only you knew what you did to me
With just one look, I was gone instead

And all these years later
I still feel the same
My heart still skips a beat
When I hear you say my name

Oh Jade, if you could see you through my eyes
You'd see the woman I fell for that first time
That long red hair, that beautiful smile
And a strength that's carried us mile after mile

You're my best mate, my heart, my home
The one I want beside me as we grow old
And if the whole world needs to hear it tonight
I love you to the moon and back
For all of my life

We made our plans and we worked hard together
Chased our dreams to places far away
Remote roads and hard times tested us
But you and I always found a way

And the rewards were so much greater
'Cause I got to share them all with you
My best mate, my wife, my partner
There wasn't anything we couldn't do

And when I hold you in my arms at night
The weight of the world just disappears
All my troubles seem to melt away
And somehow everything feels right here

When we lie in bed and talk for hours
About our lives and everything we've been through
You smile at me and I can't explain
How completely overwhelmed I am by you

Oh Jade, if you could see you through my eyes
You'd see the woman I fell for that first time
That long red hair, that beautiful smile
And a strength that's carried us mile after mile

You're my best mate, my heart, my home
The one I want beside me as we grow old
And if the whole world needs to hear it tonight
I love you to the moon and back
For all of my life

And when we walk together, side by side
And your hand finds its way into mine
I look across and wonder how I got so lucky
That this beautiful woman chose this life with mine

It's the little things that mean the most
The quiet moments nobody else can see
Just your hand in mine, your shoulder beside me
And knowing you're right here with me

Then came a cry that changed us forever
Little Ruby entered this world
I watched your strength bring her safely to us
And suddenly I saw my whole world

Two beautiful girls before my eyes
Tears of gratitude running down my face
If you could have seen yourself through my eyes
You'd know there was no woman I'd replace

Then William came a little too early
And fear came knocking at our door
But you stood strong beside our little boy
Like you'd done a thousand times before

You never left his side, you were his shelter
Your strength carried us through
The world's luckiest dad is standing here
Because my children have a mum like you

Life hasn't always followed our plans
We've walked some pretty difficult roads
But every time the world got heavy
We carried it together, shared the load

And every goal we've crossed off the list
Every dream that somehow came true
I know I couldn't have done it without you, Jade
And I wouldn't want to

'Cause if tomorrow brought us nothing
But the two of us and an old front door
I'd still have everything I've ever wanted
And I'd still love you even more

Solo acoustic guitar
Slow, emotional fingerpicking
Allow the guitar strings and room ambience to be heard

Oh Jade, if you could see you through my eyes
You'd see your kindness, your courage, your beautiful light
The years have passed, but something hasn't changed
My heart still races when I see your face

You're the mother of my children
You're my lover, my partner, my best friend
And whatever roads are waiting for us
I'll walk them with you until the end

And when I hold you, I'll still feel that peace
When you take my hand, my heart still believes
That somehow, somewhere, I got more than I dreamed
I got you, Jade, and you're everything to me

Oh Jade, if you could see you through my eyes
You'd know just how much I love you
Through every road, every year, every high and low
I'd still choose you

I'd choose your hand in mine
I'd choose your smile beside me
I'd choose the life we've made together
And I'd choose you for all of eternity

So here's my heart, after all these years
Every beat still belongs to you
My love can't fit inside these words
But I'll spend my life showing you it's true

And if I could give you one thing tonight
It would be the way I see you
So maybe you'd finally understand
Why I'm still so in love with you

Jade...

My best mate.

My home.

My life.

My forever.

I love you...

To the moon and back.
