Name: You Never Know
Duration: P00H02M40S
Description: "There's been a lot of talk about everything we lost during the pandemic, and there's a lot, but one of the things we lost was the chanced romantic kiss and as Joni sang, you don't know what you got 'til it's gone. Like the tentative buds of spring, things like kisses and holding hands are starting to emerge again full of the potential for beauty, wonder and love. Hey, you never know!" - Lach

lyrics

You Never Know

You were sweet, I liked your smile
I'll remember it for quite a while
But we both knew it's a roll of the dice
A brief affair would never suffice

Up on the roof beneath the moon
I chanced a kiss perhaps too soon
It felt so nice but we both knew
Just what a kiss would lead us to

But you never know what a kiss could do
All of the trouble it could put you through
All of the joy and happiness too
You never know

I met your friends and you met mine
All our rhythms beat out of time
I held your hand, but the angle was wrong
Like knowing the words but not the song

You never know what a kiss could do
All of the trouble it could pull you through
All of the joy and happiness too
You never know

You're now a bride of another groom
But I still remember every time you ever entered a room

Some lucky man now holds you close
Through times strange exciting flow
I knew it then and I know it now
We both knew …

You never know what a kiss could do
All of the trouble it could put us through
All of the joy and happiness too
You never know

You never know what a kiss could do
All of the trouble it could pull us through
All of the joy and happiness too
You never know
Honey, you never know

I have a kid who was a baby when the pandemic started and a toddler now. When he’s older and asks what the pandemic is like I’m gonna put this album on and pour myself a drink- this covers it all. Feels surreal to imagine ever having the privilege of going to see a Jeffrey Lewis show again but it’s top of my list when this crap is over. savanns
