Before You...

Though I had heard the words before
They never rang quite true.
I'd never felt so loved before
The day that I met you.

Now there are no words to say
Just what you've given me--
How do I even begin
To try and make you see...

Before you...
There was no meaning.
Before you...
It wasn't right.
Before you...
There were no answers.
Before you
Became my life.

Though others may have tried before,
It never was the same.
It didn't sound as sweet before
I heard you say my name...

Now I need to find a way
To make you realize--
Everything you've done for me,
How you look through my eyes...

Before you...
I was so lonely.
Before you...
There was no light.
Before you...
I'd never known love.
Before you
Became my life.

I may have thought I knew before
How love was meant to be--
It never touched my heart before
You finally made me see.

Now, at last, I understand,
I know that this is real--
Since you came into my life
I know how love should feel...

Before you...
There was no reason.
Before you...
There was no rhyme.
Before you...
My heart was empty.
Before you
Became my life...
