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
