BEFORE I LOVED YOU
(Alex Kramer / Joan Whitney)


Doris Day (with The Mellomen) - 1950



Before I loved you, I cared for no one
I shared with no one, their laughter, their tears
Before I held you, my arms held no one
I knew no time, but only lonely years

I knew no heaven, I knew no rapture
I dreamed no dream to come true
Before I loved you, before I loved you
Before you loved me, too

(Instrumental Break)

I knew no heaven, I knew no rapture
I dreamed no dream to come true
Before I loved you, before I loved you
Before you loved me, too
(Before you loved me, too)
