I have never heard this song by Kenny Rogers, and as far as I know a man named Tom Jans wrote it. The only person I have ever heard sing this song is Elvis Presley and these are the lyrics as he sings them 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 If I could hold you now Just for a moment If I could really make you mine Just for awhile Turn back the hands of time If I could only hold you now I been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Takin' any comfort that I can Looking back and longing for The freedom of my chains And lying in you loving arms again If you could hear me now Singing somewhere in the lonely night Dreaming of the arms that held me tight If I could only hold you now Ooh I been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Takin' any comfort that I can Looking back and longing for The freedom of my chains And lying in your loving arms again I can almost feel your loving arms again
