I Knew I Loved You

There are two songs with this title.

At the Oscars on Sunday, Celine Dion (not a particular favourite of mine) unveiled an Ennio Morricone song (originally the theme from 'Once Again in America') with lyrics written especially for her. He really is a prolific composer for the screen, having created some truly amazing movie scores, just think 'A Fistful of Dollars', 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', '1900', 'Cinema Paradiso', the list is virtually endless. For me, though, nothing can ever even touch his music for 'The Mission'.

I Knew I Loved You

I knew I loved you
Before I knew you
The hands of time
Would lead me to you

An evening star
Was from afar
It guided me here
It knew you'd be here

Now wrapped in moonlight
At last together
Here in the incandescent glow
We are all we need to know
As we softly please each other
'Til the stars and shadow glow
And we sleep
With our dreams around us.

Oooohhhh ahhhhhh
Ooohhhh ohhhh

It guided me
It knew you'd be here

I knew I loved you
Before I found you
I knew I'd built my world around you
Now all my days
And all my nights
And my tomorrows
Will all begin
And end
With you...
With you.



And of course there's the Savage Garden song:

I Knew I Loved You

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life



To the man I cherish and adore, the man I treasure above all things .... I knew I loved you before I met you, I have been waiting all my life.

Fi, I love Savage Garden! I had forgotten I had this song.....who woulda thunkit? Me forget something?

Thank you for posting the lyrics for those of us still in the dark ages using the demon dial-up!

These songs do resonate when one feels one has found that very special person don't they?

He is lucky!

Fiona said...

They do have their own unique sound :) And you forget???? Perish the thought *L*

Well, I remember last time I got all clever with posting a YouTube link, you said you couldn't get to it, so for you my love, I put the lyrics in too.

His is and I am. WE are lucky.
