I lose my place in conversations But you understand me anyway No hidden questions in your mornin' eyes We began that way, we began that way And I think that you know me better Even better than I know myself I believe that you know me better Even better than I know myself You share my hopes and expectations And your love surrounds me if I fail My disappointment fades beneath your smile Like an outbound sail, like a sail And I think that you know me better Even better than I know myself I believe that you know me better Even better than I know myself You're a night of rest when I am stumbling and tired You're the patience that I never learned You're a fresh idea when I'm feeling uninspired You're the honors that I never earned And when my faith has gone You urge me on You know me better Even better than I know myself You know me better Even better than I know myself And if my life and my intentions Should fail to last as we had planned Stand by me lady (baby), look into their eyes And they'll understand, make 'em understand I believe that you know me better Even better than I know myself I believe that you know me better Even better than I know myself
