I Knew I Loved You
Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
The missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life




I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luciano Pavarotti's song "I Knew I Loved You" are powerful and expressive. The first couple of verses speak of intuition and an unshakable conviction about a person that seems to defy explanation. The singer seems to have found their soulmate before even meeting them. They suggest that it might sound crazy to some, but they truly believe it. They know that they've found their best friend, their sense of completion, and their way home in the eyes of the one they love.


The lyrics create a sense of a person who has been searching for love and meaning in their life, and who has finally found it. They see their future in their partner's eyes and believe that they were meant to be together. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer knew they loved their partner before even meeting them, and that they have been waiting for them all their life.


The final verse describes the singer's love in terms of seeing angels and feeling complete. The lyrics are a poetic expression of the power of love and the theme of finding one's soulmate. The song is a beautiful tribute to a relationship that feels like it was meant to be.

Lyrics:
I'd like to run away from you
But if I were to leave you I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put
Around me
And yet I'll never try
No matter what you do you drive me
Crazy
I'd rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so
Empty
As soon as you were gone
Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you
You make me long for you
You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you
You make me cry for you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you
I could never live without you
You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
I love you more
For whatever you do
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
But you
