[Hogarth:]
|
Was there life before this love
|
Was there love before this girl I can see
|
Was there ever love for her before me
|
And if I look will she
|
Look back at me
|
Is fantasy
|
Enough?
|
|
Was there heat before this flame
|
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
|
Was I wrong about it from the start
|
Am I in ecstasy
|
Or next to see
|
That fantasy
|
S'to blame
|
Was there life before this love...
|
|
If I look up will she
|
Look back at me
|
Is fantasy
|
Enough?
|
|
If this scene is in a dream
|
Then I'm perfect for the part I play
|
You can count on me to stand and say
|
"Was there ever life before this wonderful day?"
|
|
Was there heat before this flame
|
Were there flames before this fire in my heart
|
Was I wrong about it from the start
|
Am I in ecstasy
|
Or next to see
|
That fantasy
|
S'to blame
|
|
If this dream's within a dream
|
Then I'll never swoon quite deep enough
|
No hypnotic trance quite sleep enough...
|
|
If in this sweet dream I'm flying
|
I will never fly quite high enough
|
You will hear me crying high above
|
"Was there ever life before this wonderful love?"
