You were twenty-two, buying her a diamond
Working 9-to-5 and overtime, paying off college
Taking me to school, you always found the time and
You were baseball coach, and my ride home,
you taught me how to drive and
You made it all look so easy
How did you know
When it's time to say you love her?
How did you know
When to pack up and start over?
How did you know when to settle down?
All on your own, it was figured out
How did you know?
How did you know?
Now I'm twenty-three, she's been staying over
When we're eye to eye,
I see my life, I feel a little oldеr
And I've wondered whеn I'd see the day
The light turns on, clicks into place
And I'd know everything you knew at your age
How did you know
When it's time to say you love her?
How did you know
When to pack up and start over?
How did you know when to settle down?
All on your own, it was figured out
How did you know?
How did you know?
'Cause I'm old enough to know
That I don't have forever
There might not be a better time to ask
How did you know
When it's time to say you love her?
How did you know
When to pack up and start over?
How did you know when to settle down?
All on your own, it was figured out
How did you know?
How did you know?
