Norman Always Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been from Maine to Texas
I've searched from coast to coast
For the country on the cover
Of the Saturday Evening Post
On every road I traveled
In all the places I passed through
I saw the faces of America
That Norman always knew
There's so much that we owe this man
With a pipe in his mouth and a brush in his hand
His pictures made us understand
What Norman always knew
No matter how the world may change
These words sing out like an old refrain
"Deep inside we're all the same"
Norman always knew
The young girl at the mirror
The boy with the fishing pole
The family all together
The young man leaving home
The wonder of young lovers
The old folks love still true
The special feelings that we share
Norman always knew
There's so much that we owe this man
With a pipe in his mouth and a brush in his hand
His pictures made us understand
What Norman always knew
No matter how the world may change
These words sing out like an old refrain
"Deep inside we're all the same"
Norman always knew
"Deep inside we're all the same"
Norman Rockwell knew
