Long Before Your Time

Melody -

1. 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.

2. Well sit yourself beside me here
And put your hand in mine
And I'll tell of someone I loved
Long, long before your time.

3. I'm sitting here and thinking of
Those days so long ago
When I was just a child like you
And a girl I used to know.

4. Though fields of green we laughed and played
And sang our merry rhymes
Oh summer days were warmer then,
Long before your time.

5. Through childhood years our love did bloom
Till our hearts were just as one
And we promised each eternal love
In the church before the town.
6. We settled in this little house,
I was proud to call her mine
Oh we were young and happy then,
Long before your time.

7. One lovely year was all we had
Until the sickness came
And stole the roses from her cheeks
My tears they fell like rain.

8. 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.

9. So you ask me why I look so sad
On this bright summers day
Or why the tears are in my eyes
And I seem so far away.

10. It's 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.
