Lyrics
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cause there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now

This is the most perfect "imperfect" rendition. The piano mistake. The raw vox. Phil was just incredible. What a talent. A musical gift for us all.

Another week of Phil's Iconic talent, and this time with one of his most known, worldwide masterpiece. Truly a time it was when Phil was in his prime, and these tours. Not many can say espically modern day, they sound even better live than recorded, and Phil is one of the very few who can do that. A true one-of-a-kind he is, with such an impact to all, inspiring generation to generation. A song filled with emotion, feeling, and memories for all, and it sounds so greater in live. Long live legend, All the best. 👑

Lyrics to this legendary Phil Collins Hit: 👑👑👑

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath, with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
[Instrumental]
I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standin' here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
[Instrumental]
Take a look at me now

This song still gives goosebumps … But, Mr. Collins possesses the best voice and song writing capability on the planet. Not to mention the best entertainer. I would have loved this song, your voice, and Jeff Beck.
Sorry, I don’t mean to slight anyone.
I wish you had a rewind button so we could still see and hear you live again.
God Bless you, Phil Collins
