Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Propinquity Lyrics

I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are
And the smiles that covered 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

Yes, I've known of all the heartaches
And I've known of all the pain
I've seen you when the 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
Well, I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care

I know Lord I've been blind
To not have loved you more 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
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
