Tonight I'm going to try to provide a setting for each song because these songs live like little mini movies in my mind
And I'd like to share that with you.
So this first song, Proliquity.
Oh!
Imagine an urban setting, present day, an apartment building, full of people coming and going.
It's seeing each other every day, passing each other on the streets.
There's a deli downstairs.
It's a little community, very friendly.
He sees her often and sometimes he brings her a gift.
She will sometimes make them both dinner at her apartment.
They're together a few nights a week.
They're lovers.
And one night, standing over the sink in the tiny kitchen, doing the last of the dinner dishes,
he watches her a long time in silence.
And then, he says this to her.
[Gm]
[C]
[Gm] [F]
I've known for a long time the [D]
kind [Gm] of girl you are.
[C] The way a smile that covers teardrops, the [Bb] way your head heals to [F] your heart.
The things you kept inside [Gm] that most girls did not bear.
[C] I've known you for a long time, but [Bb] I've just begun to [F] care.
I've known of all the heartaches.
[Gm] I've known of all the pain.
[C] I've seen you when the sun shines.
[Bb] I've seen you when it [F]
rains.
I've seen you make a look of love [Gm] from just an icy stare.
[C] I've known you for a long time, but [Bb] I've just begun [F] to care.
For [C]
I [Bb] know I've [F] been blind.
[C] Do not have love for [Bb] you all this [F]
time.
But [Gm] the image of you was [F] a blur.
[Bb] I guess I [Am] was saying,
[C] to me, you [F] ain't staying with me a while.
[Gm] Oh, but I have finally found
[C]
what you are to me.
[Bb]
That's what really [F] counts.
What you are to me
[Gm] is something we can share.
[C] I've known you for a long time, but [Bb] I've just begun [F] to care.
