I Know You By Heart

Dolly Parton · Rainbow [1987]

(George Merrill - Shannon Rubicam - Dean Pitchford)

Dolly Parton & Smokey Robinson



Everybody wants to find a love

Somebody, somebody who will always care

We get locked up in our own worlds

With feelings and secrets we're afraid to share.



But all I have to do is see you smile

And maybe, just maybe if I brush your hand

Something happens I cannot explain

And somehow, oh somehow I can understand.



I think you're gonna find

Gonna find, gonna find you

I'm reading your mind

I know you by heart

And you're so much a part of me

I know you by heart, yes I do.



It's no wonder I can love you

The way that I do

I can finish any sentence you start

I know you, I know you by heart.



I know everytime you're gonna call

I pick up the phone before it ever rings

And when you need some lovin' I'll be there

Beside you anticipating everything.



Oh, it's like I always said

You're the one I want

All I want is you

I'm inside your head

I know you by heart

Girl, you're so much a part of me

I know you by heart, yes I do.



It's no wonder I can love you

The way that I do

I can finish any sentence you start

I know you, I know you by heart.



It's no wonder I can love you

The way that I do

I can finish any sentence you start

I know you, I know you by heart.

I know you by heart

And you're so much a part of me

I know you by heart, I know you, I know you, I know you

It's no wonder I can love you the way that I do.



I can finish any sentence you start

I know you, I know you by...
