I MAY NOT ALWAYS KNOW

I MAY NOT ALWAYS KNOW

I may not always know the right thing to do.

I do know it feels right being with you.

I may not always know the right thing to say.

When I say your name it turns night into day.

I may not always know the words to your song.

I think I know enough to try and sing along.

I may not always know what to believe when I look at the sky.

I know when I look deep into your eyes I believe I can fly.

I may not always know which way I should go.

Sometimes I may have said yes when I should have said no.

I may not always know how to be all that clever.

When you say you love me, I feel I can live forever.

I may not always know when the time is right.

Sometimes I walk away when I should stand and fight.

I may not always know if I’m on the right road.

Sometimes it seems like all the signs are written in code.

I may not always know if I should steal a kiss.

When I’m all alone it’s your kiss I miss.

I may not always know if something is a dream or if it’s real.

One kiss from your lips and my wounded heart began to heal.

I may not always know which way is up and which way is down.

I do know I feel alive whenever you are around.

I may not always know my left from my right.

I know when it’s as dark as it can get I can always see your light.

I may not always know how to step back and let things be.

Sometimes I have a key and still can’t get free.

I may not always know when to keep my feet on the ground.

Then there you are saying I love you without making a sound.

I may not always know when I’ve stayed too long.

When I’m in your arms, I feel like that’s where I belong.

I may not always know what’s real in this game of love.

I do know your soul fits my soul like a glove.
