Love Is Knowing You Love Is Knowing You Words and music by Clifford A Rubin and Katherine E Milam Verse I was there when he was born, Held him in my arms, Thought I’d hold on forever Wasn’t long before I learned Kids fall down, get hurt I can’t always be there to make it better Lead-In I told myself, it’s alright I guess that’s how they grow I told myself, it’s alright Sometimes they need ya, sometimes they don’t Chorus I didn’t know what love is till I had a child I didn’t know ‘bout tears of joy that come from being with my boy I didn’t know what love is, but now I do Oh my son, love is knowing you Verse I pitched him balls till he could hit Played catch till the street lights lit Cheered him on at almost every game Dropped him off first day of school First sleepover I stayed cool First time he went to play with friends instead Lead-In I told myself, it’s alright I guess that’s how we grow I told myself, it’s alright Sometime we need each other, sometimes we don’t Chorus
