You were 22, buying her a diamond
Working nine to five 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
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 23 and she's been staying over
When we're eye to eye, I see my life, I feel a little older
And I've wondered when 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?
