Lyrics Back to Before - Marin Mazzie
There
was
a
time
our
happiness
seemed
neverending
I
was
so
sure
that
where
we
were
heading
was
right
Life
was
a
road
so
certain
and
straight
and
unbending
Our
little
road
with
never
a
crossroad
in
sight
Back
in
the
days
when
we
spoke
in
civilised
voices
Women
in
white
and
sturdy
young
men
at
the
oar
Back
in
the
days
when
I
let
you
make
all
my
choices
We
can
never
go
back
to
before
There
was
a
time
my
feet
were
so
solidly
planted
You'd
sail
away
while
I
turned
my
back
to
the
sea
I
was
content,
a
princess
asleep
and
enchanted
If
I
had
dreams
then
I
let
you
dream
them
for
me
Back
in
the
days
when
everything
seemed
so
much
clearer
Women
in
white
who
knew
what
their
lives
held
in
store
Where
are
they
now,
those
women
who
stared
from
the
mirror?
We
can
never
go
back
to
before
There
are
people
out
there,
unafraid
of
revealing
That
they
might
have
a
feeling
Or
they
might
have
been
wrong
There
are
people
out
there,
unafraid
to
feel
sorrow
Unafraid
of
tomorrow
Unafraid
to
be
weak
Unafraid
to
be
strong
There
was
a
time
when
you
were
the
person
in
motion
I
was
your
wife,
it
never
occured
to
want
more
You
were
my
sky,
my
moon
and
my
stars
and
my
ocean
We
can
never
go
back
to
before
We
can
never
go
back
to
before
