[Dolly Parton - I Knew You When lyrics]
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
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
