I like it    I don't like it

You'd be surprised at all that I've become.
You'd be surprised, I've changed while you've been gone,
And I learned so much more from you than I could ever say.
If you were here, I think that you'd stay...

You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach.
You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep.
Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore?
If you were here, you'd like what you saw.

You'd be surprised my life is often sweet.
You'd be surprised it's you who brings me peace...
And for some unearthly reason it takes losing you to see,
If you were here, I'd know just what you'd need.

You'd be surprised I've loved you all along.
You'd be surprised I now confess when I am wrong,
And I see the world around me in a slightly softer shade.
If you were here, you wouldn't walk away...

You'd be surprised if you were here...
We'd make time for all that's disappeared.
And I would hold you like I never could.
You'd be surprised if you were here...
We'd make it right; there'd be no tears,
And you'd confide in me and I'd be there.
I'd be there...

You'd be surprised at all that I've become...
You'd be surprised.
