[Verse 1: Kris Kristofferson]
If you could see me now
The one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

[Verse 2: Rita Coolidge]
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

[Chorus: Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge]
I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Lookin' back and longin' for the freedom of my chains
Lyin' in your lovin' arms again

[Verse 3: Rita Coolidge, Both]
If you could hear me now
Singin' somewhere through a lonely night
Dreamin' of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

[Chorus: Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge]
I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Lookin' back and longin' for the freedom of my chains
Lyin' in your lovin' arms again
