I Knew You When

I knew you when
in the days that used to be
once your love belonged to me
it was divine
don’t you recall
once you were mine
I knew you when
once I held you in my arms
once I thrilled to all your charms
you loved me too
that’s what you said
but was it true
you only wanted amusement
you only wanted to play
but I learned just what the blues meant
when you went away
I knew you when
we were lovers long ago
now I’m someone you don’t know
though you’ve forgotten
I can’t forget
I knew you when
