Propinquity

(Michael Nesmith)


I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are
And the smiles that cover teardrops
The way your head yields to your heart

Of things you've kept inside
That most girls couldn't bear
Well, I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care

I've known of all the heartaches
And I've known of all the pain
I've seen you when the sun shines
And I've seen you when it rains

I've seen you make a look of love
From just an icy stare
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care
I know I've been blind
To not have loved you all this time
But the image of you wasn't clear
I guess I've been standing too near

It's taken me a while
But I have finally found
What you are to me
And that's what really counts

And what you are to me
Is something we can share
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care

I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care
