Before I Met You

(Charles L. Seitz - Joe Lewis - Elmar Rader)



I thought I had seen handsome men in my time

That was before I met you

I never saw one that I wanted for mine

That was before I met you.



I thought I was standing on top of the world

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you.



I wanted to ramble and always be free

But that was before I met you

I said that no man could ever hold me

But that was before I met you.



I thought I was standing on top of the world

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you.

They tell me I'll reap just what I have sown

But darling I hope that's not true

For once I made plans about living alone

But that was before I met you.



I thought I was standing on top of the world

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you.



Yes, that was before I met you...
