I Knew It, I Knew You

I knew you Through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer Parachutes for the free fall of being younger I memorized the sound of your bare footsteps running wild It's been a long time Life has ways of leaving those days behind But seeing you tonight I remembered I loved you Came back when it mattered I saw you, standing there in the light of the window Wearing 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 bringing things back to life All you said was, "Hi" And I remembered I loved you Came back when it mattered I saw you, standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Man, it's been a while But I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye Wondering if I'd made it up in my mind But now you look me in the eye And you told me I loved you Came back when it mattered I saw you, standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Yeah, it's been a while Oh, Wearing that same smile Man, it's been a while Wearing that same smile Man, it's been a while But I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you Wearing that same smile I knew it, I knew you I knew it, I knew you I knew it
