"Before You Knew What Love Was" lyrics

My love is like fine wine
So I let her breathe
We settle into silence
With the greatest ease

My love's like a chalice
So I lick the bowl
In quiet preparation
For a lifetime role

But if I slip up
She shakes my tree
By not letting me forget
When she says to me

I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was

My love reads like poetry
Taken line by line
Though her rhyming meter
Throws me every time

My love is a flower
Of a different breed
And her fertile ground waits
For my mystic seed

But do I get it
If I lose my way
Soon I do regret it
When I hear her say

I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was

But do I get it
If I miss a beat
Soon I do regret it
When she says to me

I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was
I was loving you
Before you ever knew what love was
Loving you
