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 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 ya

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 (ooh)
I knew (oh), I knew
Whoo, ooh-ooh

Oh, the rivers I cried when we said goodbye
Wonderin' 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
Standin' there in the light of the window
Wearin' that same smile, man, it's been a while
Oh, wearin' that same smile
Man, it's been a while (man, it's been a while)
Wearin' that same smile, man, it's been a while
But I knew it, I knew ya

Ooh, I knew you (I knew)
I knew it, I knew ya (ooh, I knew you)
(I knew) wearin' that same smile
Ooh, I knew you (I knew it, I knew ya)
I knew, I knew
I knew it, I knew ya
I knew it
