you should see the way it feels lyrics

It may look to you like nothing much to see
But you should see the way it feels to me

Here's the sidewalk I used to ride my bike
Down this little slope, down my little mountain
Start by the driveway spinning up to speed
Careful of that gravel 'cause it's nasty on the knees
Watch out for the branches on that apple tree
Soar down to the corner

Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember
It might not be a mountain after all
But it was hard enough to climb and steep enough to coast
Long enough to satisfy and fast enough to boast

It may look to you like nothing much to see
But you should see the way it feels to me

Here's the tree-house I used to spend my night
Up this little tree, way up in my mansion
Jump to the first branch, walk it upside down
Careful of your grip 'cause it's a long way to the ground
Better get a handhold before you look around
You can see into forever

Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember
It might not be a mansion after all
But it was hard enough to climb and safe enough to sleep
Big enough to satisfy and home enough for me

It may look to you like nothing much to see
But you should see the way it feels to me

Here's the old man who used to be the child
So long ago, not so very long though
Look at the memory, think of all those years
Looking through the sparkle of the sunlight in the tears
Better take another look before you disappear
You can see across your lifetime

So I look at where I've come and where I'm going
I will never be the greatest after all
But it was hard enough to climb to get to where I've been
Love enough to satisfy and life enough to live

I may look to you like nothing much to be
But you should see the way it feels to me
You should see the way it feels to me
