I’ve known of all the heartache, and I’ve known of all the pain
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
Oh, I’ve known you for a long time, but I’ve just begun to care
I know that I’ve been blind
To not have loved you all this time
But the image of you was not clear
I guess I’ve been standing too near
And it’s taken me a while, oh, but I have finally found
What you are to me, babe, 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
Yes, I’ve known you for a long time, but I’ve just begun to care
