I know that hearts were loving
|
Long before I was here
|
And I'm not the first to ever cry
|
In my bed or in my beer
|
There were songs before there was radio
|
Of love that stays and love that goes
|
They were writing meloncholy tunes
|
And tearful words that rhyme
|
Before my time
|
Before my time
|
|
|
There were songs in old dusty books
|
Of love thats always been
|
Sweet lovers in their glory
|
Who are now gone with the wind
|
Old fashion love words spoken then
|
Keep coming back around again
|
Nothings changed except the names
|
Their love burns just like mine
|
Before my time
|
Before my time
|
|
And in the dim of yesterday
|
I can clearly see
|
That flesh and blood cried out to someone
|
As it does in me
|
And there was some old song that said
|
I love you 'til I die
|
Before my time
|
Before my time
|
|
But what the old time masters had
|
Is what I feel for you
|
Love is love and doesn't change
|
In a century or two
|
If someway they had seen and knew
|
How it would be for me and you
|
They'd wish for love like yours
|
And they would wish for love like mine
|
Before my time
|
Before my time
|
