G I know that hearts were loving D7 Long before I was here And I'm not the first to ever cry G In my bed or in my beer C There were songs before there was radio
G Em Of love that stays and love that goes C They were writing melancholy tunes D7 And tearful words that rhyme G D7 G Before my time before my time There were songs in old dusty books D7 Of love that's always been Sweet lovers in their glory G Who are now gone with the wind C Old fashion love words spoken then G Em Keep coming back around again C Nothings changed except the names D7 Their love burns just like mine G D7 G Before my time before my time C And in the dim of yesterday G I can clearly see C That flesh and blood cried out to someone G D7 As it does in me G And there was some old song that said C I love you till I die G D7 G Before my time before my time But what the old time masters had D7 Is what I feel for you Love is love and doesn't change G In a century or two C If someway they had seen and knew G Em How it would be for me and you C They'd wish for love like yours D7 And they would wish for love like mine G D7 G
