Before My Time

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 that's always been
 Sweet lovers in their glory
 Who are now gone with the wind
 Old fashioned love words spoken then
 Keep coming back around again
 Nothing's changed except the names
 Their love burned 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 master's 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
