I Knew You When - Oleta Adams

«You come home and get lost in the evening news

I wish we could talk but somehow we never do

You don’t even ask me how my day has been

Looks like one of those evenings again

We sit here like strangers

I don’t know you anymore

I knew you when you needed me

I used to make your world go round

You used to open up your heart and let me in

Why can’t you now like you did then

I knew you when

I used to see nothing but love in your eyes

Now you look at me — it’s enough to make me cry

Little by little you’re slipping away

So much is said in the words you don’t say

Don’t you remember when you were mine

Oh, there was a time

I knew you when you needed me

I used to make your world go round

You used to open up your heart and let me in

Why can’t you now like you did then

I knew you when

I knew you when you needed me

I used to make your world go round

You used to open up your heart and let me in

Why can’t you now like you did then

I knew you when

Oh, Why can’t you now like you did then

I knew you when"
