Before there was us there was you
And when you were young all was new.
Do you think about that. I still do.
Before there was us there was you.
***
Before there was us there was me
And when I was young I was free.
But I dreamed about you on my knee.
Before there was us there was me.
***
Before I brought tears to your eyes
They had visions of stars in the skies
And they traveled in books and grew wise
Before I brought tears to your eyes.
***
Before we decided to share
All our hopes and our joy as a pair
We were sure that we hadn’t a care.
Before we decided to share.
***
Before we grew up and grew bold
All our dreaming was vast and controlled
But this life paid its fees in fool’s gold
Before we grew up and grew bold.
***
Before life was harsh and unkind
And the fates put us into a bind
You had not been so sad and resigned
Before life was harsh and unkind.
***
Before we give up and despair
Let the us that we are learn to care
0nce again let us dream how we’ll fare
Before we give up and despair.
***
Before skies were gray they were blue
And the hearts that were broken were few.
Life is precious to live so let’s do,
Before skies were gray they were blue.
