Lyrics
Look at this face, I know the years are showing
Look at this life, I still don’t know where it’s going
I don’t know much but I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know
Look at these eyes, they never see what matters
Look at these dreams, so beaten and so battered
I don’t know much but I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know
So many questions still left unanswered
So much I’ve never broken through
And when I feel you near me sometimes I see so clearly
The only truth I’ll ever know is me and you
Look at this man, so blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul, still searching for salvation
I don’t know much but I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know
I don’t know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
I don’t know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know
Whoa-whoa-ah
