... 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 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" 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) I knew it, I knew you (I, I, I, I) 'Cause I knew you, I knew you (I, I, I, I) (I, I, I, I) I, I, I, I Oh, the rivers I cried when you said goodbye Wondering 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 Standing there in the light of the window Wearing that same smile Man, it's been a while You were wearing that same smile Man, it's been a while Wearing that same smile Yeah, 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 you I knew it
