I Knew I Loved You Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question

"He's not the only one who's got people to worry about. I have a family. We all do."

"Not me. It's true. No one gives a rat's rear about me."

"I do."

Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant

"What was I thinking? Rachel's a human. A real human. I'm a hawk. You think Romeo and Juliet were doomed, just for being from families who didn't like each other? Well, you can't get any more doomed than caring for someone who isn't even the same species."

And there it goes
I think I found my best friend

Rachel... I never told you...

You didn't have to, Tobias. I knew...

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

"Rachel's a very pretty girl, beautiful even..."

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 waiting all my life

"Tobias was a sweet, poetic kind of guy. He used to have messy, out-of-control hair and dreamy eyes that always seemed to be looking at something no one else could see..."

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion

"There are definitely some nice things about being a hawk. And flying with Rachel is probably the nicest..."

And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces

"I ran to Tobias. I don't really know why. I just wanted to touch him. To know he was real..."

I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

"Pretty upset over that Bird-boy, aren't you? What, did you like him or something? That's it, isn't it? Aww, how sweet."

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

"She stepped out into the sunlight and her blond hair became a flame of pure gold. Rachel. Have you ever known a person who seems to walk through life with her own private spotlight shining on her? That's Rachel."

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 waiting all my life

"I'm gonna go get some wings and come on up there. Keep an eye out for me."

I always will.

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

"Hey, you," she whispered with a smile.

Ready for some fun?

"You know it, Soaring Hawk."

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 waiting all my life

We spread our wings, like parachutes. Caught the air just above a whitecap breaking on the shore. We found a thermal and caught the free ride. Up and up and up again. Circle after circle. World's greatest carnival ride.

There is nothing, nothing like this, Tobias! she shouted, awed by the sheer joy of flying.

We weren't a hawk and an eagle on this morning. We were two humans. Rejoicing in the greatest pleasure we'd ever known. Enjoying the gift Elfangor gave us. Rising toward the brilliant, dazzling, sun.

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 waiting all my life

Rachel was last in line. She was beautiful, as always.

And then she was right in front of me. I saw her eyes sweep toward me, indifferent, and then look past me toward the door. She stopped walking. She turned to me. Her eyes were wide.

"Hi, Rachel," I said, with a human voice.

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 waiting all my life...
