"I've Loved You Before" lyrics

"I've Loved You Before"

When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else
That makes me whole
I am never needing more
I get this feeling
That I have loved you before

Were we lovers in an army
Marching all for Rome
Side by side in battle
Did we bravely leave our home?
Did I hold you in my arms
As you were taking your last breath?
Did shout to all the gods
That I would love you beyond death
Or more?
I swear I've loved you before

Did we hide in the dark ages
From a vengeful God above?
Were our names too unfamiliar
To ever speak of love?
Did I cling to every moment with you
In every parting glance?
An accidental touch
Did we ever take the chance
For more?
I know I've loved you before

Have I wandered through the desert?
Have I looked to the North Star?
Have I rode the days and nights on rails
To get back where you are?
And every time I found you
It's your eyes I know for sure

When I think of how you know me
No doubts no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else
That makes me whole
I am never wanting more
I get this feeling
I know I've loved you before
I know I've loved you before
I've loved you before
