Tift Merritt I Know Him Too
I know you think that I'm just a stranger
Just a drinker he's seen downtown
Someone he'd wave to on his way to meet you
But I know him too
Better than a "how you been?" oh better than I wish I did
When you dance where I can see
I know you think you know him better
Wait a little longer, I know him too
I guess no one told you, nobody can hold him
I guess his whispers still sound true
And his secrets, they're still the same
As the ones I knew
Better than a "how you been?" oh, better than I wish I did
When you dance where I can see
I know you think you know him better
Wait a little longer, I know him too
Better than his "how you been?" oh, better than I wish I did
Go on, dance where I can see
Tonight you love him, 'cause no one can tell him
Tonight no one can tell you
The way your eyes shine, soon they'll be like mine
Cryin' 'cause I know him too
I know you think you know him better
Wait a little longer, I know him too
