NOW I KNOW (Dinah Shore)
Harold Arlen (m) Ted Koehler (l)  1943

as rec by Dinah Shore (a capella)  1944

also rec by Anne Shelton w Wally Stott & his Orch  '57


I used to be bewildered,
my outlook on life wasn't clear;
Then, all at once,
The mist seemed to disappear!

Now I know
Why I go
Walking round in a wonderful glow;
There's a lot
That I'm not
Conscious of'
But this feeling must be love!

Now I know
Why it's so,
Why I'm alive
And I thrive
On the thrill! (on the thrill)
Here am I,
Riding high
On a hill,
Far away from the usual drone,
With a world of my own
At my feet,
All because fate was heavenly sweet
To have planned that we meet! (that we meet)

Never dreamed
In my wildest dream
That I'd fall so wholeheartedly!
Now I know love is all that it's cracked up to be!
