Before There Was You & I

Why would I look back in time

Before there was you and I

Before you were by my side

When all I could do was cry

When my only embrace came from shackles and chains

Before there was you and I

Walkin’ through the gardens of time

To see what I could find

There were remnants of a lonely, lost soul

That once was mine

There were bits of, and pieces of, some rose colored glasses

All on the ground

From a bruised and battered, busted and tattered

Broke down piece of a man

Why, would I look back in time

Before there was you and I

Before you were by my side

When all I could do was cry

When my only embrace came from shackles and chains

Before there was you and I

Baby, baby I just need you to understand

How much it means to me

The way that you love me so sweetly

But it’s good to be reminded of

Just how good it is and I wanna make it last

Because you loved me in spite of

The brokenness inside of

And brought so much peace to this man

Why, would I look back in time

Before there was you and I

Before you were by my side

When all I could do was cry

When my only embrace came from shackles and chains

Before there was you and I
