I Knew You When

That year the spring was six months long

And love could do no wrong

Filled up with hope and all the answers

The sun was stapled to the sky

A 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

Because I loved you

I knew you well

Your heart could melt like caramel

Your eyes were deep like the silent muddy stream

Where the tadpoles dream

? against the child

We'd fall asleep

That year the fog would climb the beach

And wrapped 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 feel we're growing old

But in my praying, I will you see you as you were

And you'll remain the time that you

Of now and then, it's only me

I knew you when
