All I Know

lyrics

Verse I

Now this might not sound like a sad song

(piano)

But if that’s what you think, then you haven’t been listening long.

(piano)

‘Cause it wasn’t so long ago

That every morning started out so cold and damp and dark and gray

Nowhere important to go

Happiness said to me, “Better luck another day.”

Verse II

Couldn’t get myself out of bed

I had the curtains drawn and the covers pulled over my head.

Didn’t want to face a new day,

With no one to talk to and nothing to say anyway.

Walked around like I was lost

Bought a couple of tacos with my last bit of loose change.

Should have used it doing the wash,

But a guy gets hungry when his life is getting rearranged.

Mini break

And it got me to thinking of you

Wondering where you’ve gone since the day you left me

Telling me we’re finally through,


And leaving me alone to wonder why I still feel that …

Chorus

All I Know is When I’m In Love With You

Everything seems so new

Like I’m born again

In your arms.

And All I Know is when we’re together it’s true

The sky never seems so blue

So fly home to me

And we’ll never be apart again (and you’ll never have to leave again) (and you’ll never want to leave again)

Verse III

Walking down the same cold street

When suddenly I felt a new sensation deep inside of me,

I was tired of looking down at my feet

I lifted my eyes and saw the beauty tat surrounded me!

So I thought I’d put the world to a test

Picked out a perfect stranger and gave the girl a silly little grin

After she got over the shock

Well I’ll be darned if she didn’t smile right back at me.

Mini Break

And it got me to thinking of you,

If it worked on a stranger can it happen to the one I love?

After all that I put you through,

Can I end all this pain and make your happy with me again?

Chorus

All I Know is When I’m In Love With You

Everything seems so new

Like I’m born again

In your arms.

And All I Know is when we’re together it’s true

The sky never seems so blue

So fly home to me

And we’ll never be apart again

(SOLOS)

Verse IV

Now here’s where you come in,

Though others might believe your cause of all my grief and pain.

I never did give in,

To blame someone else for the problems I’ve caused myself.

So come and see the things I have done,

To turn things around

And put my sorry life on solid ground.

I finally tackled Job Number One,

And I hope you can see what I’ve found …

Chorus

All I Know is when I’m In Love With You

Everything seems so new

Like I’m born again

In your arms

And All I Know is when we’re together it’s true

The sky never seems so blue

So fly home to me

And we’ll never be apart again
