Before I Knew You Songtext
There's been something following me all my life
Some protection that I can't define
How I earned it, not a clue
They said, "It's a universal star's align
It's a message from the great divine"
But it didn't quite ring true
Like a hope I couldn't place
Till the day I saw your face
Some protection that I can't define
How I earned it, not a clue
They said, "It's a universal star's align
It's a message from the great divine"
But it didn't quite ring true
Like a hope I couldn't place
Till the day I saw your face
You were somewhere in the sunlight
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream, little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me, you were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
Back then, when you were bright-eyed and too young to care
I wonder if you ever felt me there
Like an unexpected breeze
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
You can feel me with you all the time
'Cause that's where I wanna be
You're the hope I couldn't place
Till the day I saw your face
You were somewhere in the sunlight
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream, little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me, you were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
Before I knew you
And when we run out of mornings
I'll remember all your glory
And your love will always ground me, even when you're not around me
And I'll still be singing to you
I'll love you longer than I knew you
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream, little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me, you were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
Back then, when you were bright-eyed and too young to care
I wonder if you ever felt me there
Like an unexpected breeze
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
You can feel me with you all the time
'Cause that's where I wanna be
You're the hope I couldn't place
Till the day I saw your face
You were somewhere in the sunlight
In the corners of my young mind
Little whispers in a daydream, little voice that always saved me
You were hiding in plain sight
Now I see you every morning
In your unencumbered glory
But even when you hadn't found me, you were right there all around me
And I've been on my way to you
I loved you long before I knew you
Before I knew you
And when we run out of mornings
I'll remember all your glory
And your love will always ground me, even when you're not around me
And I'll still be singing to you
I'll love you longer than I knew you
