Before You


I must have lived before you learned my name
I know I was here playing my part in life’s game
But I can’t recall anything I did before I met you
I lived I know but my heart hadn’t learned true
The sun shone and graced the sky with her fire
But my spirit walked sedately it didn’t soar higher

There were days that I thought would never end
Where troubles came endlessly my soul to offend
I’d lurch from dusk to dawn without a kind word
My soul was left frozen unable to make itself heard
I was in the race but didn’t understand the route
My life was routine I lived continually on mute

There must have been stars that shone in my sky
I'm sure there were nights when I thought I’d fly
I must have had my wings in those days before you
And times when my spirit came smiling on through
But I can’t recall ever feeling as content as all this
I don’t remember being bathed in loves total bliss

My world has changed so much now you are here
Suddenly all I have never seen begins to just appear
The clouds that obscured my view have melted away
I can see the future is bright I welcome the new day
The reason I'm here is not for me to ponder at all
I'm here just because, I'm here to answer your call

Marsha


Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
