lyrics
I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are
From the smile that covers teardrops
The way your head yields to your heart
From the things you've kept inside
That most girls couldn't bear
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care
I've known of all the heartache
And I've known of all the pain
Cause I've seen you when the sun shines
And I've seen you when it rains
I've seen you make a look of love
From just an icy stare
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care
I know I've been blind
To not have loved you all this time
But the image of you wasn't clear
I guess that I've been standing too near
Well it's taken me awhile
But I have finally found
What you are to me
And that's what really counts
And what you are to me
Is something we can share
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care
