I've known for a long time The kind of girl you are And a smile that covers teardrops The way your head yields to your heart Of things you've kept inside That most girls couldn't bear Well, I've known you for a long time But I've just begun to care Yes, I've known of all the heartheaches And I've known of all the pain I've seen you when the 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 Well, 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 I've been standing too near It's taken me a while 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 Well, I've known you for a long time But I've just begun to care Yes, I've known you for a long time But I've just begun to care
