BEFORE THE LOVE
Who were you before
How did you love
Did you sing your songs of pain and love
Did you hope the heavens heard your pleas
Did you listened for a heartbeat drifting among the stars
You never heard the songs calling back for you
You never saw me in the stars above
You never felt the love
Who were you before love
Who were you before love
Who was I before
How did I love
I sang the songs of pain and love
I hoped the heavens heard my pleas
I listened for a heartbeat drifting among the stars
I never heard your songs calling for me
I never saw you in the stars above
I never felt your love
Who were you before love
Who was I before love
Who have we become
We can see the stars, feel the heavens
Your songs call me to your heartbeat
Your songs of pain and love are me
The heavens have answered our pleas
I will always hear your songs calling for me
I will always see you in the stars
I will always feel your love.
Who were you before love
Who was I before your love
Who were we before the love
