About The Song
Tracy Lawrence returns to the top with another heartbreaking ballad.
After four consecutive No. 1 hits from Alibis, Lawrence scored a top ten hit with “Renegades, Rebels, and Rogues” from the Maverick soundtrack. The lead single and title track from his third studio album followed, and it became his eighth No. 1 hit.
I wish I had more to say about this specific Tracy Lawrence record, but this is a very typical Tracy Lawrence record.
He’s in full on heartbreak mode as he watches his former love dance with her feet off the ground, as he realizes that the man she is now with is better for her than he ever was.
He sings the hell out of it, just like he did with every other ballad from this era.
It doesn’t quite reach the dizzying heights of “Alibis” and “Can’t Break it to My Heart,” but it’s still good enough to be among the better chart-toppers of 1994.
I See it Now will match Alibis, with three more No. 1 singles from it on the way in 1995.

Lyrics
It’s good to see your face again, it’s been awhile
How am I doing, Well I get by somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know I didn’t see that fire in you he’s found
Oh but I see it now
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see It Now
Holding him, you never looked more beautiful
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it’s clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain’t no mystery
He’s all I couldn’t be
Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see It Now
And I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see it now
