Before You and I

Hold me close little darling
And sing to me sweet
When the night comes a calling
And I’ve got dancing feet

How long must I wait
For the night to come?

Fourteen billion years ago;
Was no bird or a tree.
Before you and I.
Ain’t nothing hung on the horizon;
Was nothing there to see!
Before you and I.

How long must I wait
For the night to come?

Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling
Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling
Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling

And as she ushered in the sun
Didn't look like anyone
Like anyone I’d seen
You were from a distant dream
Like something falling from the sky
I could die yeah I could die
But when the angel wakes me up
I feel like a sinners love
A dangerous violent energy
That someones come to set me free
And I know that one is you
You spoke to me you spoke the truth
That truth was everything I need
And everything was you and me
In the photograph I've seen
You were more worthy than the queen
The queen of earth and of the sea
And that old dream could come to life
That old stick could be a knife
And that old world can be renewed
Then suddenly you speeded up
The wind was fresh
The wind was love
And we saw clearly everything
The rain had stopped we sent a dove
And now I know the dove was you
My mind is washed your words are true
That truth was everything I need
And everything was you and me

Everywhere I go,
And everything I do,
It’s like I've been looking,
Looking for you.

I didn't really know,
I didn't really care,
But it’s like you had all the answers,
The who, the when, the where.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
The adventure where everything changed,
The world had a way,
Of leading me straight to you.

Anywhere I go,
And anything I do,
Just doesn't come close to how I feel,
When I'm with you.

So I guess that in the end,
It was always meant to be,
I was made for you,
And you were made for me.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
The adventure where everything changed,
The world had a way,
Of leading me straight to you.

It’s been three days since I saw the light,
It’s like I only come alive at night,
Like a dog on a city street,
Keeping my head low and dragging my feet.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

It’s been three days since I saw your face,
Can't shake the vision of you packing your suitcase,
You said you don't know what you want,
I said I didn't want a broken heart.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

I know a place just out of town,
Comes to life when the sun goes down,
Where everybody knows your name,
And no two nights are ever the same.

There’s a band playing country blues,
King of the road and blue suede shoes,
Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,
People don’t dance like that no more.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

With a friend or by yourself,
The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,
Smoke twirling under neon lights,
You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.

Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,
Knocking down shots like dominoes,
Leave your money on the table, double or quits,
You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

Honey, times have changed,
We've both been trying,
But it’s time to move on.

The good times, they're not the same,
Maybe baby those good times,
Have been and gone?

In the good old days when life was easy,
We'd be making music all night long,
But honey, times have changed.

In the good old days when life was easy,
In the good old days when we were young,
Waking in the morning, bright ‘n breezy,
We'd be making sweet sweet music,
All night long.

Honey, times have changed.

He makes another reckless phone call,To ears that plead,And then another passing trend,To cater for her needs,He makes another cool decision,To tears on the phone,They were pointed in the wrong direction,Now he’s all alone.
A fine line (darkness & the light),Fine line (east & the west),Fine line (between what’s right or wrong),A fine line.
Careless,
Never rattled by the loss,what’s to gain,Never counts the cost,Pointed in the wrong direction,No way of getting lost, it’s a.
A fine line (darkness & the light),Fine line (east & the west),Fine line (between what’s right or wrong),A fine line.
A fine line (darkness & the light),Fine line (east & the west),Fine line (between what’s right or wrong),A fine line.
And You think you've got it made,And You think you've got it made,You think you've got it made,It’s a fine line.
