I Knew It, I Knew You Lyrics

I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer
Parachutes for the free fall of bein′ younger
I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps
Runnin' wild, it′s been a long time
Life has ways of leavin' those days behind
But seein' you tonight

I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standin′ there in the light of the window
Wearin′ that same smile, man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you
I knew it, I knew you

I knew you, all your blues like a mood ring changing colors
You did too, there were times we could fight like brothers
I watched you drive around the bend for
What I thought would be the last time I saw my friend
But love has ways of bringin′ things back to life
All you said was, "Hi"

And I remembered I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standin' there in the light of the window
Wearin′ that same smile, man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew you

(I knew, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you
(I knew, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you
(I knew) I knew you (knew you)

Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye
Wonderin′ if I'd made it up in my mind
But you looked me in the eye

And you told me I loved you
Came back when it mattered, I saw you
Standin' there in the light of the window
Wearin′ that same smile, man, it′s been a while
You were wearin' that same smile, man, it′s been a while
You were wearin' that same smile, yeah, it′s been a while
But I knew it, I knew you

(I knew, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you (I knew)
Wearin' that same smile (I knew, I knew)
I knew it, I knew you (I knew)
Oh (I knew, I knew)
I knew it
