I Believe in You
Lyle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not just what comes to mind
'Cause I can see you're somewhere in between
This morning and the late last night
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
Even the stars will pass away
And the sun will burn to coal
And even men will hear the angels say
He was a fool to let it show
But I know you know
And there ain't nothing I can do
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you
And I know it ain't never come to no good
And I know it seems like it ain't no use
And I know I should've left while I still could
But I can't find a reason to
So tell me something that you mean
Not just what comes to mind
Because you know I would believe
Anything you'd say
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I'm so in love with you
The song "I Know You" by Lyle Lovett is a hauntingly beautiful ballad about unrequited love. The singer of the song is deeply in love with someone who is somewhere in between "this morning and the late last night." He implores them to tell him something they truly mean, not just what comes to mind because he can see they are not fully present with him. The chorus repeats the phrase "I know you know, I'm so in love with you" as if to emphasize the depth of his feelings and the hopelessness of the situation.
The second verse of the song paints a picture of the transience of life and how even the stars will pass away and the sun will burn to coal. The singer admits that even if he shows his love, it might all be for nothing and he may be seen as a fool. However, he cannot help but feel the way he does and he knows that the person he loves knows it.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me something that you mean
I want to hear your true feelings, not just what you think I want to hear
Not just what comes to mind
Don't say the first thing that pops into your head, take a moment to really think about it
'Cause I can see you're somewhere in between
I can see that you're conflicted or uncertain
This morning and the late last night
You're thinking about this all the time, even when you're not with me
And I know you know
I know you're aware of the situation and how I feel
I'm so in love with you
I love you deeply and completely
Even the stars will pass away
Even things that seem eternal will eventually end
And the sun will burn to coal
Even the most powerful things will eventually die
And even men will hear the angels say
Even people will have moments of regret or realization
He was a fool to let it show
Someone will realize they made a mistake by expressing their love openly
And there ain't nothing I can do
I feel powerless to change how I feel or the situation
And I know it ain't never come to no good
I'm aware that this might not end well
And I know it seems like it ain't no use
It may feel like there's no point in pursuing this
And I know I should've left while I still could
I know I should have walked away earlier
But I can't find a reason to
But my love for you is too strong to give up on
Because you know I would believe
You know I trust you completely
Anything you'd say
I believe in your words and your promises

Fabulous song and beautifully done! One of the songs which got me through the Summer of 1974 which was a very emotional time for me! Bless you Chris!🍻

For such a small population we tend to produce such talent, none better than Gallagher & Lyle, just class

The 70s was a great time for Scottish music.
