I Knew”
Verse 1
It wasn’t a crowded room or a Saturday night,
Just a voice on a phone when the timing felt right.
Miles between us, but something felt close,
First time I heard you talk, I felt hope.
Calm and steady, soft and true,
Like my heart already knew what it’d do.
Didn’t know the years, didn’t know the cost,
But I knew my way when I heard Misty’s voice.
Chorus
Yeah, I knew love wouldn’t come easy,
Knew it’d ask more than comfort from me.
Ask me to stay when it’d be easier to run,
Ask me to stand when the shine was gone.
One year in, still standing true,
It hasn’t been easy, but loving you—
From the first time I heard Misty’s voice,
I knew.
Verse 2
First time I saw you was Jerry’s place,
Gravel drive, late afternoon haze.
I watched you pull up, watched that door swing wide,
My whole world stopped when you stepped outside.
Green eyes shining, clear and bright,
Right then and there, I knew my life.
When your boots hit ground, my heart had proof—
Standing in that driveway, Misty, I knew.
Chorus
Yeah, I knew love was already mine,
Didn’t need a sign, didn’t need more time.
Just one look, that small-town view,
And everything else just faded through.
One year in, still standing true,
It hasn’t been easy, but loving you—
From the moment I saw you step out that car,
I knew.
Bridge
We started out long distance, late-night calls,
Counting days, counting miles, counting it all.
I left Tennessee, packed up my life,
Pointed home to Georgia, took that drive.
I’ve seen Tennessee sunsets burn gold and red,
But they don’t hold a candle to you instead.
When the light hits your green eyes just right,
Girl, you outshine every southern sky.
Final Chorus
And I know this road’s still long and wide,
With faith in our hearts and dust on our pride.
But if I had to start this life brand new,
I’d still fall hard the same way I do.
’Cause I knew… and I still do,
Every hard mile just proves it’s true.
One year down, my heart’s still new—
It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been you.
From the first time I heard your voice…
Misty, I knew.
