I Know That You Know
Daniel O'Donnell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's a game, but who can play it all alone
Every chap should hold a heart that's all his own
Love may come at first sight, they told me
When I saw you, I knew
That I had found my only love
When I found you

So, darling, I know that you know

That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms

This time is my time
T'will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss say nighty night

So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go

I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms
