I Know Him Too

Tift Merritt

I know you think that I'm just a stranger,
Just a drinker he's seen downtown.
Someone he'd wave to on his way to meet you.
But I know him too.

[Chorus]
Better than a how you been.
Oh, better than I wish I did.
When you dance where I can see.
I know you think you know him better,
Wait a little longer, I know him too.

I guess no one told you nobody can hold him.
I guess his whispers still sound true.
And his secrets are still the same
As the ones I knew.

[Chorus]

Tonight you love him cause no one can tell him.
Tonight, no one can tell you.
The way your eyes shine, soon they'll be like mine.
Crying cause I know him too.

I know you think you know him better,
Wait a little longer, I know him too.
