I Knew You When
That year the spring was six months long
And love could do no wrong
Full up with hope and all the answers
The sun was stapled to the sky
My junior prom July
And we at center stage were the dancers
I knew you when the air was cold
I'm there again
My dress was blue
And it lay across the chair as I loved you
I knew you well
Your heart could melt like caramel
Your eyes were deep like the silent muddy stream
Where the tadpole would stream
Child against a child, we'd fall asleep
That year the fog would climb the beach
And wrap us out of reach
From searchlights that the sky was sending
I knew you first
I knew you best
I knew you from the rest
I knew you when the spring was ending
As time takes hold you may fear we're growing old
But in my brain I will see you as you were
And you'll remain the timeless you of now and then
It's only me
I knew you when
And love could do no wrong
Full up with hope and all the answers
The sun was stapled to the sky
My junior prom July
And we at center stage were the dancers
I knew you when the air was cold
I'm there again
My dress was blue
And it lay across the chair as I loved you
I knew you well
Your heart could melt like caramel
Your eyes were deep like the silent muddy stream
Where the tadpole would stream
Child against a child, we'd fall asleep
That year the fog would climb the beach
And wrap us out of reach
From searchlights that the sky was sending
I knew you first
I knew you best
I knew you from the rest
I knew you when the spring was ending
As time takes hold you may fear we're growing old
But in my brain I will see you as you were
And you'll remain the timeless you of now and then
It's only me
I knew you when
