If You Could Only See Me Now

If you could only see me now Somewhere out here in the dim lights Feeding my public every single night And holding court just like a king If you could only see me now Drinking gin and bumming cigarettes And smiling wide cause I've got no regrets About how life's been good to me Every day's a four leaf clover And every night is a winning hand I've been painting the town, wearing smoke rings for a crown If you could only see me now If you could only see me now Gazing deep into some new eyes And whispering into ears that haven't heard my lies Or the promises I couldn't keep If you could only see me now In the darkness of my midnight Or see me trembling in the morning light Waking from my sinner's sleep Every day's a four leaf clover And every night is a winning hand I've been painting the town, wearing smoke rings for a crown If you could only see me now I've been painting the town, wearing smoke rings for a crown If you could only see me now
