I Know You By Heart Lyrics
Midnights in winter, the glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile shine throught the darkness
It's light is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart
Mornings in April, sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children, laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on
Cause I know you by heart
I still hear your voice on warm summer nights
Whispering like the wind
You left in autumn, the leaves were turning
I'd walk down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile, I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me everyday
Cause I know you by heart
Cause I know you by heart
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile shine throught the darkness
It's light is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children, laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on
Cause I know you by heart
Whispering like the wind
I'd walk down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile, I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me everyday
Cause I know you by heart

I assumed it was about a death. Reminds me of Sarah McLachlan's "Wintersong". Both of the songs are great and so very sad.
Love it when the "Mornings in April" part comes in... :)
As the melody jogs up and down and her voice moves forward and back, I can hardly sing along. As I try to, I become weepy like a widow 'cause I know some people by heart too.
Oh I do love this song ~ I think its about realising you love someone throughout all the seasons evem though they have gone many years ago, and remembering all the good times you both shared "whispering like the wind" just goes to show how everything reminds her pf him. sweet song x
I indeed believe it is about death - her own. I think that many of her songs were Eva singing to the Eva who has passed. They were timeless songs which we mortals could sing to her and mean every word. What a gift God gave us, even for a brief moment and, what gifts she has left us to remember her by.
The amazing artistry of Eva Cassidy: this is an extremely emotional song. It reminds me of missing family or an "empty nest", perhaps with some tragic undercurrent to it.
When I hear this song, I think of my husband. He passed away in April 2004. The words, "Mornings in April; Sharing the secrets" really hits home for me. "I still hear your voice, On warm summer nights, Whispering like the wind." So many memories...I miss you, Kenny...so very much...
