Lyrics

Look at this (C)face,

I know the years are show ing.

Look at this life, I (G)still don’t know where it’s go ing.

I don’t know much,

but I know I love you,

and (G)that may be all I need to (C)know.

Look at those (C)eyes,

they’ve nev er seen what mat ters.

Look at these dreams,

so beat en and so bat tered.

I don’t know much,

but I know I love you,

and (G7)that may be all I need to (C)know.

So man y ques tions

still left un an swered.

So much I’ve nev er bro ken through.

And when I feel you near me some times I see so clear ly the on ly truth I’ve ev er (Eb)known is me and (Ab6)you.

Look at this (Eb)man

so blessed with in spi ra tion.

Look at this soul, still (Bb)search ing for sal va tion.

I don’t know much,

but I know I love you,

and (Bb)that may be all I need to (Eb)know.

I don’t know much,

but I know I love you,

and (Bb7)that may be all I need to (Eb)know.

I don’t know much,

but I know I love you.

and (Bb7)that may be all there is to know.
