You Should Know by Now
Nyoy Volante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ought to know by now
Love is the look in my eye
Lovin the way you smile when I say
I wish you would stay
You bring out all the youth in me
I laugh and cry out all the truth in me
Out of love
You should know by now
Haven′t you felt by now
Just what its like to be loved
Knowin' that certain touch when you′re sure
Time won't give you more
You bring out all the best in me
I wanna hold you 'till you feel the need somehow
You should know
That if I could just find the words
I wouldn′t be left so lonely
I′m your one and only
Then I'd show you how
Every move as smooth as silk
Say you will
Baby, say you will
Hasn′t it crossed your mind
Haven't you known all this time
Honestly tell me now, has it shown
How much love has grown
The way I tremble at the sight of you
I wanna learn to love you through and through
This I′ll beg
You should know by now
You should know by now
You should know by now




You should know I love you
You should know by now

Man , I thought I loved Angela Bofil's version . This is so freaking bad I'm gonna learn this too . Thanx to the artist or this rendition of a beautiful song .

@joancanonigo1757

Vernon Epps you are right

@geralddadap1761

You should simplify your musical accompaniment. Just guitar or even a ukulele and your voice would bring the essence of Angela Bofill's epic song. And don't change any melody pls. Simplicity would make it worth several million views.
