Don't You Know

Della Reese · Legendary [2002]

Don't you know

I have fallen in love with you

For the rest of my whole life through



Don't you know

I was yours from the very day

That you happened to come my way



Can't you see

I'm under your spell

By the look in my eyes

Can't you tell, can't you tell



Now, don't you know

Every beat of my heart keeps crying out

I love you so

Don't you know



Don't you know

Every beat of my heart keeps crying out

I love you so

Don't you know
