How did you know?
Return to Sanctuary 1 - Foyer


Chorus
How did you know that I needed you so?
How did you know that I needed you so?
How did you know (how did you know)
That I needed you so?
Verse 1
I saw you standing on the stair
I ran to you but you weren't there
'Cause you're in my mind, you're in my heart
And now my fragile world is torn apart
Verse 2
I felt you lying next to me
I turned but you I couldn't see
Yet it can't be wrong to write this song
For the Universe plays the music on & on
Verse 3
I sense your presence in my heart
I sense this could be just the start
'Cause I think of you... I think of you
Inside each little thing I say and do
Verse 4
I don't know... It's so bizarre
I didn't think it would go this far
But now this world is cold outside your arms
Chilled without your skin beneath my palms
Verse 5
I want to hold you close again
All you have to say is when
And I'll take a train... I'll catch a flight
So I can make sweet love to you tonight
Verse 6
Give me a sign that you wanna be mine
We'll take this love a make it divine
And I'll think of you, I'll think of you
Inside each little thing I say and do
Rap Verse/s
Well, how did you know? Man, how did you guess?
That my mind was confused, my emotions a mess.
I had no plans for the future till you held me tight
Then I knew, sweet lover, it would be alright.
Now you've got me going so I'll have to confess
That my head said no when my heart said yes
It skipped a couple of beats when eyes met face
Then the ache set in with your strong embrace.
Well, how did you know? Did your eyes let you see
The ghosts in my life who are following me?
'Cause the things that you did and the things that you said
Went straight to my heart and then down to my head
Maybe...baby you've deciphered my soul
Could you hear me screaming inside the Black Hole?
'Cause when you said "I love you", I wondered "How did you know?"
That the moment was right in this great and secret show.
