I Knew You When

I Knew You When - Claude Thornhill

I knew you when

In the days that used to be

Once your love belonged to me

It was divine

Don't you recall

Once you were mine

I knew you when

Once I held you in my arms

Once I thrilled to all your charms

You loved me too

That's what you said

But was it true

You only wanted amusement

You only wanted to play

But I learned just what the blues meant

When you went away

I knew you when

We were lovers long ago

Now I'm someone you don't know

Though you've forgotten

I can't forget

I knew you when
