I know
When I was a child, kneehigh to a grasshoper
I used to speak very loud to be a man
I used to say, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW
It was the beginning, it was spring
But when I turned 18
I said, I KNOW, here I go—this time I KNOW
And now, every time I turn around
I look at the earth, a place I paced up and down
And I still don't know how it spins
When I was about 25, I knew everything
Love, roses, life, money
Right, love! I knew it thoroughly!
And luckily, like my mates
I hadn't eaten up all my bread
Halfway through my life, I learned new things again
What I've learned takes up only four, five words:
On the day when someone loves you, the weather is very fine
I can't put it better—the weather is very fine
That's one thing that still amazes me about life
Being in the autumn of my life
You can forget so many sorrowful evenings
But you can't forget a tender morning
Throughout my youth, I wanted to say I KNOW
But the more I searched, the less I knew then
The clock has stricken 60
I'm still standing at my window, looking out and wondering
Now I KNOW, I KNOW THAT YOU NEVER KNOW!
Life, love, money, friends and roses
You never know the sound or the color of things
That's all I know! But I KNOW that...
