Even Better Than I Know Myself - Paul Williams

I lose my place in conversations

But you understand me anyway

No hidden questions in your mornin' 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
