Karaoké Long Before Your Time Mike Denver

Oh you ask me why

I look so sad on this bright summer day

Or 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

I'm sitting here and thinking of those 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

Oh summer days were warmer 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 day

Or 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

Yes you smile so much like she did long, long before your time
