The song "If You Could See Yourself In My Eyes" by Billy Gilman is about a person who deeply loves someone, but feels that the person they love doesn't see their own worth and beauty. They see the person hiding in their own world, writing poems about their fears and loneliness. The lyrics express the longing to make the person understand how much they are loved and how much they mean to the singer. The singer believes that if the person could see themselves through their eyes, they would realize that true love never lies and they are truly beautiful. The singer wants to convey that the sunlight always shines in the person's hair and that nothing feels right without them. The person is unaware of the impact they have on the singer's dreams, where they never let go of each other. The chorus emphasizes the desire for the person to see themselves as the singer sees them, to understand the depth of love and appreciation the singer feels. The lyrics also mention that it has been a while since someone has told the person that they can hold their head up high above the rest. The song's overall message is to express love and admiration for someone who may not recognize their own worth. The singer longs for the person to see themselves as the singer does, so they can understand the love and beauty that exists within them.
