"I knew I loved you"

"I knew I loved you" was recorded by Savage Garden and released in 1999. Darren Hayes is a brilliant singer and this is a truly beautiful song with unforgettable lyrics! AND This is only one of their great hits on their album "Affirmation".

I do have a hidden agenda linked to selecting this song for today. Last night I received the exciting news that my niece was born but unfortunately I couldn't be there to meet her. You see I live in Australia and my family all still live in South Africa. As hard as it is not being able to be there with them, I am thrilled for them. It's so exciting. My brother and sister in law already have 2 other girls , I think they were hoping it was a boy, but it ended up being another girl. Regardless of this, they are so blessed to have 3 healthy little girls. Maybe one day we can all live in the same country , I can still dream can't I?

This song struck a chord with me as a perfect choice for today, as it made me think about the feelings I believe a mother experiences before she meets her new born baby. She knows she loves the baby before she even meets him/her. It's funny to think how our lives constantly change. One day there is no one there and the next day.. it's all about this other person who you devote your whole life to and you can't even imagine how you lived without this precious human being.

This song can also be interpreted to be about the great love of one's life. It speaks of the ability to recognise the right person when they come along. That all encompassing feeling of Deja Vu, that feeling of having met this person before, the impact from that initial meeting.

Have you experienced anything like this before ?


Lyrics and video below


Maybe it's intution
but, somethings you just don't question
like in your eyes,
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes,
I think i've found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a li'l crazy, but,
I believe,
I knew i loved you before i met you
I think i dreamed you into life
I knew i loved you before i met you
I have been waitin' all my life

there's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
like in your eyes,
I see the missing pieces
searchin' for
I think i've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a li'l, crazy,
but i believe
I knew i loved you before i met you
I think i dreamed you into life
I knew i loved you before i met you
I have been waitin' all my life.

ooohhh..hooo..woooaahhh....
