I Knew 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Nov 2003

I don't believe in telling fortunes
or seeing visions in the sky.
I've never been to a gypsy,
I pass astrologers by;
I never tried to see the future
and yet the moment I met you
I saw what I always pictured,
I saw what I always knew.

I knew your eye would have a twinkle,
I knew you'd talk the way you do,
I knew your nose would have a wrinkle,
when the laughter breaks through.
Your fam'ly tree must go back
somewhere in the sky,
and you must be a throwback
to the angels on high.
I knew the way you'd put your hand out,
when you were introduced to me,
I knew that you would be a standout
any place you might be.
I knew that you'd be perfect,
Perfect through and through,
yes I knew a lot of things,
but never knew there was anything
Just like You.

I knew your eye would have a twinkle,

to the angels on high.
I knew the way you'd put your hand out,
when you were introduced to me,
I knew that you would be a standout
any place you might be.
I knew that you'd be perfect,
Perfect through and through,
yes I knew a lot of things,
but never knew there was anything
Just like You.
