Even Better Than I Know Myself

(album: Ordinary Fool - 1975)

I lose my place in conversations
But you understand me anyway
No hidden questions in your morning eyes
We began that way, we began that way

And I think that you know me better
Even better than I know myself
I believe that you know me better
Even better than I know myself

You share my hopes and expectations
And your love surrounds me if I fail
My disappointment fades beneath your smile
Like an outbound sail, like a sail

And I think that you know me better
Even better than I know myself
I believe that you know me better
Even better than I know myself

You're a night of rest when I am stumbling and tired
You're the patience that I never learned
You're a fresh idea when I'm feeling uninspired
You're the honors that I never earned

And when my faith has gone
You urge me on
You know me better
Even better than I know myself
You know me better
Even better than I know myself

And if my life and my intentions
Should fail to last as we had planned
Stand by me lady (baby), look into their eyes
And they'll understand, make 'em understand

I believe that you know me better
Even better than I know myself
I believe that you know me better
Even better than I know myself
