They'd wish for love like yours
Love is love and doesn't change
Their love burns just like mine
Before my time
Of love that stays and love that goes
Keep coming back around again
They were writing melancholy tunes
Before my time
Before my time
But what the old time masters had
And tearful words that rhyme
Of love thats always been
Before my time
In my bed or in my beer
That flesh and blood cried out to someone as it does in me
There were songs before there was radio
In a century or two
How it would be for me and you
If someway they had seen and knew
Before my time
Sweet lovers in their glory
Is what I feel for you
Before my time
Who are now gone with the wind
And I'm not the first to ever cry
And in the dim of yesterday I can clearly see
And there was some old song that said
Before my time
There were songs in old dusty books
"I love you till I die"
Nothings changed except the names
Old fashion love words spoken then
And they would wish for love like mine
