Can You See Me?
By Carolyn Chatwin Murset 11/30/2020
G Am7
I remember her and Mama sitting side by side.
C Dsus2
Decorating wedding cakes For a friend or family bride
G F
And as I learned and listened To the stories they would tell
C G Cm D7
Of struggle and of laughter I knew and loved them well.
G Am7
Then, Grandma later let me Decorate a little cake
C Dsus2
Her patient eyes could not see The mistakes that I would make.
G F
Those sugar sweetened years rolled by And she and Mom look on
C G Cm D7
From Heaven’s upward glistening sky Are they listening to this song?
Chorus:
G Bm7 C Cm
Can you see me, are you near me? How we did connect
G Em7 C D7
What I learned and watched you live, I never will forget!
G F C Cm7
Can you see me, can you hear Me trying for your sake?
G A C G
Do I have the patient eyes To overlook mistakes?
Bridge:
Bm7 C Am7 Dsus2
I’m not perfect, I’m not strong I’ll keep on trying, and move on!
Repeat Chorus, then line 1
