This I Know

The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks

Like the clouds that bring the rain

Like the sun that makes the flowers

Like the soft and gentle breeze

I will blow away the showers



This I know, this I know and I know

I love you for the rest of my life

I can't wait till tomorrow comes

I can't wait to see the sunlight in your eyes

When you know that I am yours



I don't know what makes the stars

Light up the sky when nighttime's falling

But like the stars up in the sky

My love for you is everlasting



This I know, this I know and I know

I love you for the rest of my life

I can't wait till tomorrow comes

I can't wait to see the sunlight in your eyes

When you know that I am yours



When the leaves fall sadly down

When the autumn winds are blowing

They don't feel sad because they know

A new life comes at springtime's dawning



This I know, this I know and I know

I love you for the rest of my life

I love you for the rest of my life
