I've Always Loved You

I knew that we would meet one day, That I swear, my love, is true. I knew that with clear certainty, Because I’ve always loved you.
I didn’t know the name you’d have, Or if your eyes were brown or blue.
But I knew that you and I would meet,
Because I’ve always loved you.

I knew that you’d be beautiful,
You’d be kind and loving, too. I knew that with a steadfast faith, Because I’ve always loved you.

You were the girl I always thought of,
The one my dreams brought into view.
And my love for you will never end,
Because I’ve always loved you.

I was fooled one time by someone,
Who filled my heart with rue.
But my wounds began to quickly heal,
When I learned she wasn’t you.

Then came the day when you appeared, And with the briefest glance I knew, I had found the girl I’d waited for,
Because I’ve always loved you.
