The Monkees - Propinquity (I've Just Begun to Care)

I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are.
Of a smile that covers teardrops,
The way your head yields to you heart.
Of things you've kept inside
That most girls couldn't bear.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.

I've known of all the heartaches
I've known of all the pain.
I've seen you when the sun shines.
And I've seen you when it rains.
I've seen you make a look of love
From just an icy stare.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.

I know I've been blind
To not have loved you all this time.
But the image of you wasn't clear.
I guess I've been standing too near.

Oh, it's taken me a while
But I have fin'ly found
What you are to me
And that's what really counts.
And what you are to me
Is something we can share.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.
