Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - Before My Time lyrics

rate me

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 MELONCHOLY TUNES

AND TEARFUL WORDS THAT RHYME

BEFORE MY TIME

BEFORE MY TIME

THERE WERE SONGS IN OLD DUSTY BOOKS

OF LOVE THATS ALWAYS BEEN

SWEET LOVERS IN THEIR GLORY

WHO ARE NOW GONE WITH THE WIND

OLD FASHION LOVE WORDS SPOKEN THEN

KEEP COMING BACK AROUND AGAIN

NOTHINGS 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 'TIL 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
