"Life Before You" lyrics

Tom Paxton & John McCutcheon Lyrics

"Life Before You"

Mornings spent with you
Are the best part of my day
When you walk into the room
You take my breath away
I don't know what comes over me
Don't guess I really care
But my heart breaks into a beaming smile
When I see you standing there

I had a life before you
But it all seems empty now
When I feel your hand in mine
The world is right somehow
I've been in love
I really thought I knew
But that was all just
Life before you

My old days were lonely days
Lots of humble pie
Could not make connections
Hope just stumbled by
But over the horizon
I knew the sky was blue
I kept falling, I kept rising
Until I finally got to you

I had a life before you
But it all seems empty now
When I feel your hand in mine
The world is right somehow
I've been in love
I really thought I knew
But that was all just
Life before you

Here we are together
On the brink of something new
I don't want to let you go
But it's what I have to do
I can't help the tears
As you walk away from me
And I promise I'll be waiting
When the bus comes back at three

I had a life before you
But it all seems empty now
When I feel your hand in mine
The world is right somehow
I've been in love
I really thought I knew
But that was all just
Life before you
That was all just
Life before you
