If you let me take your heart I will prove to you
We will never be apart if I’m part of you
Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see
It is no surprise now, what you see is me
Big and black the clouds may be, time will pass away
If you put your trust in me I’ll make bright your day
Look into these eyes now, tell me what you see
Don’t you realise now, what you see is me
Tell me what you see
Listen to me one more time, how can I get through?
Can’t you try to see that I’m trying to get to you?
Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see
It is no surprise now, what you see is me
Tell me what you see
Listen to me one more time, how can I get through?
Can’t you try to see that I’m trying to get to you?
Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see
It is no surprise now, what you see is me
Unveiling Vulnerability: The Heart of “Tell Me What You See”
“Tell Me What You See” by The Beatles is a gentle plea for understanding and connection. Through simple yet affecting verses, the narrator asks a loved one to truly look at him and recognize the sincerity of his feelings. The repetition of lines like “Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see” emphasizes the desire for emotional transparency and validation. The lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability, suggesting that love is not just about feelings but about being seen and accepted for who you truly are. The motif of clouds and passing time hints at obstacles, yet the optimism in “I’ll make bright your day” reassures that trust can overcome uncertainty.
