How I Know You Lyrics

How I Know You

James Taylor---How I Know You 

 

 Music by Elton John 

 Lyrics by Tim Rice 

 

 I grew up in your hometown, at least began to grow 

 I hadn't got to my first shave before the body blow 

 Egyptians in the courtyard, my family in chains 

 You witnessed our abduction which possibly explains 

 

 How I know you 

 How I know you 

 

 

 Before that fateful morning my family enjoyed 

 A privileged existence, for my father was employed 

 As advisor to the king, no less, which surely rings a bell 

 For as you are his daughter, you probably can tell 

 

 

 How I know you 

 How I know you 

 

 

 Enough of reminiscence, and such happy memories 

 The reason why I know you well is really none of these 

 It's just you reek of royalty, you ooze uncommon grace 

 I'd know you were a princess, in any time and place 

 

 

 Yes I know you 

 How I know you 

 Yes I know you 

 How I know you
