Before And After

lyrics

BEFORE AND AFTER

Before there was beauty and afterward too
Before there was me, before there was you
Before we were through

Before there was sadness and afterward too
A missing belief still missing for two
And what can you do?

Before and after I looked to the skies
I saw it just as I was closing my eyes
Before and after the tears that I cried
I saw for an instant the soul I denied

Before there was poverty, afterward too
Depends where you look, depends what you do
A room with a view

Before there was sadness and afterward too
A missing belief still missing for two
Well, what can you do?

Before and after I looked to the skies
I saw it just as I was closing my eyes
Before and after the tears that I cried
I saw for an instant the soul I denied

Before and after before
Before and after
