paroles de chanson Long Before Your Time - John Kerr

You ask me why I look so sad on this bright summer's day,
And why the tears are in my eyes and I seem so far away,
Well sit yourself beside me love, and put your hand in mine,
And I'll tell you of someone I loved long long before your time,
Well im sittin here and thinking of thoes days so long ago,
When I was just a child like you and the girl I used to know,
Through fields of green we laughed
And played and sang our merry rhymes,
O we were young and happy then, long, long before your time.
Through childhood years our love did
Bloom, till our hearts were just as one,
And we promised each eternal love in the church below the town,
We settled in this little house I was proud to call her mine,
Oh we were young and happy then, long, long before your time.
One lovely year was all we had until the sickness came,
And stole the roses from her cheeks, my tears they fell like rain,
For nine long months she carried you, but in the end she died,
She chose to go so you might live, long long before your time,
So you ask me why I look so sad on this bright summer's day,
And why the tears are in my eyes and I seem so far away,
Its just you seem a lot like her when your eyes look into mine,
And you smile so much like she did, long, long before your time
