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 melancholy 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 burns 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 till I die
Before my time, before my time

But what the old time masters 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
