RANDY TRAVIS: "See Myself In You"

If I met you, on the corner,
Would I know you, as you are?
Would I take you, for a stranger,
And brush past you in the door?
If you call me, would I hear you,
Or would I walk away too soon?
If I lingered for a moment,
Would I see myself in you?

If I fought you, as a soldier,
If I had you in my sights,
Would you ask me to remember,
Who imagined, I was right?
If you witnessed my surrender,
Do I know what I would lose? *
If You held me, like my brother,
Would I see myself in you?

Well, I dreamed my end was near,
I was almost gone.
If I dream that dream from here,
Can I still come home?

--- Instrumental ---

If you call me, would I hear you,
Do I know, what would I do?
If you held me like my father,
Would I see myself in you?

If you held me like my mother,
Would I see myself in you?...

* all the lyrics say "do" here...but I wonder if he isn't saying "lose". I don't have the liner notes.
