Propinquity [I've Just Begun To Care] lyrics

I've known for a long time

The kind of girl you are.

Of a smile that covers teardrops,

The way your head yields to you 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 heartaches

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 fin'ly 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.
