Píseň: I've Loved You Before

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
The Awakening
When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise


When there's no one else
That makes me whole
I have never needing more, I get this feeling
That I've loved you before


Were we lovers in an army
Marching all for Rome?
Side by side in battle
Did we bravely leave our home?


Did I hold you in my arms
As you were taking your last breath?
Did I shout to all the Gods
That I would love you beyond death?


I swear I've loved you before


Did we hide in the dark ages
From a vengeful God above?
Were our names too unfamiliar
To ever speak of love?


Did I cling to every moment with you
In every parting glance?
An accidental touch
Did we ever take the chance?


I know I've loved you before


Have I wandered through the desert?
Have I looked and learned all the stars?
Have I rode the days and nights
On rails to get back where you are?
And every time I foundered
It's your eyes I know for sure


When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise


When there's no one else
That makes me whole
I never wanting more, I get this feeling
I know, I've loved you before


I know, I've loved you before
I've loved you before
