All I wanted was to see you shine And to be there when you did All I wanted was a hand in mine I had a place where it would fit I always wondered what was in your head The way you read my mind I always wondered what was never said Each and every time a-ha In every word we wrote, in every line There was a desperate note We had a contract but never signed I couldn't get your vote You saw the sadness in these eyes
That no one ever sees The bruises hidden here behind the smile A kind of stiff unease a-ha Just when I couldn't get you out of my mind You start to back away I always wondered, baby, one more time It wouldn't hurt would it? a-ha I want to see you shine I want to see you shine I want to see you shine Let me see you shine All I wanted was to see you shine
