When You Know


words and music by Rick Paul

When You Know cover art
From the single When You Know


He saw those bright red cowboy boots, dancing in the line
Just a little out of step, but right at the perfect time
It was like some movie, where across some crowded bar
Suddenly you’re meant to be nowhere but where you are

They wouldn’t tell anyone for a month or two
But love at first sight was in the room that night
And there was nothing they could do

When you know you’ve found your forever
When you know you’re looking at the one
You’ll be looking in an angel’s eyes and feel life’s just begun
And suddenly it’s so
That’s when you know

A couple dozen years go by, and their oldest’s dressed in white
Glass of bubbly in his hand, he walks up to the mic
She’s memorized the story he’ll be telling in his toast
The one he’s told a thousand times that everybody knows

But she won’t roll her eyes like she’d usually do
‘Cause it was love at first sight one magic night
When she wore her mama’s boots

When you know you’ve found your forever
When you know you’re looking at the one
You’ll be looking in a stranger’s eyes and feel life’s just begun
And suddenly it’s so
That’s when you know

There’s gonna be a baby soon, another little girl
She’ll be grandpa’s pride and joy and mama’s precious pearl
Grandma went online the same night she first heard the news
Looking for a tiny pair of bright red cowboy boots

When you know you’ve found your forever
When you know you’re looking at the one
You’ll be looking in an angel’s eyes and feel life’s just begun
And suddenly it’s so
Yeah, suddenly it’s so
That’s when you know
When you know
That’s when you know
