I Knew
Kika Cardoso Lyrics

Too many times I’ve tried to reach out for love
I have sought love and affection on many occasions

For care, respect, and affection
My search was for care, respect, and affection

Still, I fell down low
Despite my efforts, I experienced setbacks

But finally, my faith turned. I saw light in my day.
However, my faith gave me hope and I finally saw a way forward

Those big brown eyes of yours lookin' my way
I found hope in the gaze of someone with big brown eyes

So I knew, I had to be stronger
I realized that I had to be stronger to overcome my setbacks

I knew, my day would come
I felt confident that eventually, I would have my day

Oh Baby, you’ll see me lightin’ up the sky
I will shine bright and be successful

I'll be there way up high,
I will be successful and on top of the world

Cause this is my time
It is my time to succeed

And if I ever fall down, I’ll still feel proud of myself
Even if I face setbacks, I will still be proud of my accomplishments

At least I had it, once in my life
I am grateful for the experience of love and success

Too many nights I’ve cried
I have shed many tears

Feeling lonely and cold
I have felt isolated and unloved

But I had you by my side
I found comfort and support in the presence of a loved one

You’re my treasure, my gold
I value and cherish the person who supports me
