Tennessee Tears – Now I know (text) (Lyrics)

:

Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday but was so long ago..

I was 9 years old
When I pulled your hair and broke your china doll
I had no clue
What those stomach butterflies would have me do

Years gone by
Always wondering what I’m really looking for
Now here I am
Back knocking at your door

Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday but was so long ago
Now I know
I didn’t see it then but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb but guess we all can grow
And this time around I’ll never let you go
Now I know

12 years old
When I tried to kiss you heading home from school
Oh I cried that day
When you told me that you had to move away

Years went by
Hoping that someday I’d see your face
And here I am
Back at your place

Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday but was so long ago
Now I know
I didn’t see it then but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb but guess we all can grow
And this time around I’ll never let you go

Now I see in your eyes
What’s missing in me
The piece of the puzzle was always there in front of me
Now I know

Now I know

Now you hold my heart
And that feels like home
My peace and my shelter it’s where I have always belonged
Now I know

Now I know

We were kids and you were living down the road
Didn’t see it then but now your colors show
And thiѕ time аround I’ll never let you go
