Lyrics
I Know
She was always there for you
Most ' the time you never knew, but
If you fell she'd always be right there
Sleepy dawns to goodnight kiss
Never a day she'd ever miss
To tell you that she loved you, that she cared
And you're missing her like lonely
You're thinking if only
She could come back for a moment
You'd never let go
Baby I know, baby I know
Everything she did for you
Was everything she wanted to
She loved you more than you could ever see
She could always take you high
Give you wings and watch you fly
Show you dreams come true when you believe
And you're missing her like lonely
You're thinking if only
She could come back for a moment
You'd never let go
Baby I know, baby I know
Oh how can she be gone when she loved us so
She had such a special way
Miss her more with every day
I held her tight as she went (away)
I couldn't say goodbye and I couldn't let go
Oh when she smiled that special way
It wrapped you up warm, it filled your day
And I really thought nothing could ever change this
And I'm missing her like lonely
I'm thinking if only
She could come back for a moment
I'd never let go
Baby I know
