I Knew You When

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
In the ancient middle fifties,the closin' sixties roarI was caught up in your passionI could only beg for moreAnd if I had a dollar billI'd give it to you thenSo I could tell the whole wide worldOne day I knew you when[Verse 2]With your dangerous charismaYour thundering attackYou charged the very air I breatheAnd kept me coming backYou helped me through my darkest hoursYou always were my friendYou gave me hope to carry onBecause I knew you when[Bridge]I knew you when the mountain tops were right beneath your feetWhen artistry and freedom were completeBefore you were an icon, before they all tuned inYou could say I knew you when[Verse 3]We all sit here with our memories,of a glorious long agoWhen our heroes seemed immortal,were they really soIt's a question for a wiser manI will not ask againI will only say I'm gratefulFor the time I knew you when[Outro]I knew you when (I knew you when)Oh, I knew you whenI knew you when (I knew you when)Yeah I knew you whenI knew you when (I knew you when)Yeah I knew you when
