Propinquity - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I’ve known for a long time

The kind of girl you are

And the smiles that cover 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

I’ve known of all the heartaches

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

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

I’ve known you for a long time

But I’ve just begun to care

I’ve known you for a long time

But I’ve just begun to care
