I See My Future
He walks around always with a smile
I never knew how he was grieving inside
One day I saw him crying over a photograph
That was dogged and tattered from the mouse
He noticed me, so he told me her name was Rose
Then from a frown, he forced a smile from ear to ear
He said, "She is the reason the good Lord put me on this earth"
Now I can't understand why she's gone and I'm still here
He said, "Rose left when she was in her prime
So deep in love, we made so many plans"
He said, "I'm living but I ain't living, I just can't"
Then I realized that I recognized this man
Lightning strikes sometimes twice
They deal the same and
I've seen the future, I see my future
I see my future in a man
I sat down, hold out her picture
There was bright in knowin'
Taken just a few short months ago
And I told him how the angels
Had taken you too
Then we talked about our struggle to go on
Lightning strikes sometimes twice
They deal the same and
I've seen the future, I see my future
I see my future in a man
I see my future in a man
I never knew how he was grieving inside
One day I saw him crying over a photograph
That was dogged and tattered from the mouse
He noticed me, so he told me her name was Rose
Then from a frown, he forced a smile from ear to ear
He said, "She is the reason the good Lord put me on this earth"
Now I can't understand why she's gone and I'm still here
He said, "Rose left when she was in her prime
So deep in love, we made so many plans"
He said, "I'm living but I ain't living, I just can't"
Then I realized that I recognized this man
Lightning strikes sometimes twice
They deal the same and
I've seen the future, I see my future
I see my future in a man
I sat down, hold out her picture
There was bright in knowin'
Taken just a few short months ago
And I told him how the angels
Had taken you too
Then we talked about our struggle to go on
Lightning strikes sometimes twice
They deal the same and
I've seen the future, I see my future
I see my future in a man
I see my future in a man
