I have never heard this song by Kenny Rogers, and as far as I know a man named Tom Jans wrote it The only person I have ever heard sing this song is Elvis Presley and these are the lyrics as he sings them

If you could see me now
The one who said
That he'd rather roam
The one who said
He'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment
If I could really make you mine
Just for awhile
Turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in you loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If I could only hold you now

Ooh I been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again
