Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my arms again one more time

If I could feel her warm embrace
See her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again

I can't hide it no
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me

Doesn't she know it
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay
I've got to see her again

(Just to see her)
I want to see her
(Just to see her)
Hold her hold her hold her
(Just to see her) see her
Just to touch her
Touch her

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Makes me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay (today)
I've got to see her again

(Just to see her) it would it would it would
(Just to see her) make me feel so good
(Just to see her)if I if I could only see her again
Just see her again
Just to see her theres nothin' I wouldn't do
Just to see her oh don't you know its true
Just to see her (if I could only see her again oh)
