propinquity (i've just begun to care)
I've known for a long time The kind of girl you are Of a smile that covers tear drops The way your head yields to your heart Of things you've kept inside That most girls couldn't bear I've known you for a long time But I've just begun to care  I've known of all the heartache 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  Oh, 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  Oh, 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  Yes, I've known you for a long time But I've just begun to care
