Karaoké Before I Knew You Ben Platt

There's been somethin' followin' me all my life

Some protection that I can't define

How I earned it not a clue

They said

It's a universal stars align

It's a message from the great divine

But it didn't quite ring true

Like a hope I couldn't place 'till the day I saw your face

You were somewhere in the sunlight

In the corners of my young mind

Little whispers in a daydream

Little voice that always saved me

You were hidin' in plain sight

Now I see you every mornin'

In your unencumbered glory

But even when you hadn't found me you were right there all around me

And I've been on my way to you

I loved you long before I knew you

Back then when you were bright-eyed and too young to care

I wonder if you ever felt me there

Like an unexpected breeze

I hope now that you and I are intertwined

You can feel me with you all the time 'cos that's where I wanna be

You're the hope I couldn't place 'till the day I saw your face

You were somewhere in the sunlight

In the corners of my young mind

Little whispers in a daydream

Little voice that always saved me

You were hidin' in plain sight

Now I see you every mornin'

In your unencumbered glory

But even when you hadn't found me you were right there all around me

And I've been on my way to you

I loved you long before I knew you

Before I knew you

And when we run out of mornings

I'll remember all your glory

And your love will always ground me

Even when you're not around me

And I'll still be singin' to you

I'll love you longer than I knew you
