Lyrics
Should?ve Known
Words and Music by James Horning
Seeing you now
Makes me think of when
I first remember seeing you and how I felt just then
Something different in your eyes than what I?d seen before
Wondrous in your smile that left me wanting
More than I had ever hoped I could have
chorus
And I should?ve known you?d seize my heart
And fill me with this love I should?ve known, I should?ve known
Seeing it still, seeing it more
That look within your eyes
A window to the soul I love
Bound by eternal ties
So take my hand and see
It was written long ago
He?s known of us from ages past
We?re just the last to know
chorus
And I should?ve known you?d seize my heart
And fill me with this love I should?ve known, I should?ve known
That just one look can?t quench what?s from above
I should have known
Seeing you now
Makes me think of when
I first remember seeing you
Well, I feel that way again
