TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU

WRITERS STEVIE WONDER, SYREETA WRIGHT

Copyright 1972



To know you is to love you

But to know me is not the way you see

'Cause you made me so happy

That my love for you grows endlessly

When I'm down and feelin' sad

You always comfort me

Baby to know you is to love you

Is to see you bein' free as the wind

'Cause the power of your lovin'

Is too strong to hold within

I know you and I think I love you

I know you and I think I love you

I know you and I can feel our love just growing, growing, baby

Hey doggone it baby
