BUT THAT WAS BEFORE LOVE DIED

 

We walked together in the spring

When our love was a new thing

And the cherry trees were in blossom

And we thought life was awesome

Our hearts were so full we sighed

But that was before love died

 

In the summer we walked together

In the fine and sunny weather

Through fields of golden corn

When we parted we were forlorn

We felt a burning passion deep inside

But that was before love died

 

In the autumn we walked abroad

And our hearts were of one accord

We wandered thought the golden gown

And nothing could ever get us down

We felt as one when side by side

But that was before love died

 

When winters chill fell upon the land

We still walked together hand in hand

We played in the snow like children

Making snow angels again and again

I even asked her to be my bride

But that was before love died

 

We had walked hand in hand

As a life together we planned

We sat beneath a leafy oak

As of true love we spoke

We loved laughed and cried

But that was before love died

 

Now I walk alone in the familiar places

Where we enjoyed our fond embraces

Where we kissed and spoke of tomorrow

Places that now bring me only sorrow

Her love made me feel alive inside

But that was before love died
