I don't know how to explain
The way I feel when I feel the rain
Or why the seasons come and where they go

But your smile is sweet
And that's all I need to know


When the wind is from the west
I close my eyes and I take my rest
What will I do when the north winds blow

If I feel you near That's all I need to know



I don't know why the stars shine in the sky
Could it be they've come to say goodbye
Well they shine for me

And that's all I need to know

Some folks claim to understand

The whole world in a grain of sand
Who am I to say it isn't so
Is your love real

That's all I need to know
