I've known for a long time
And the smiles that cover teardrops,
the way your head yields to your heart
The things you kept inside
that most girls couldn't bear
Well, 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
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
I've known you for a long time,
but I've just begun to care
To not have loved you all this time
But the image of you wasn't clear
And that's what really counts
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
