BEFORE YOUR TIME
(Jerry Chesnut)


Billie Jo Spears - 1969



Not long ago I didn't know
The feel of lips on mine
And I was halfway happy then
But that was before your time

Then you came along and I found heaven
But now you leave me alone
I was better off before your time
Than I'll be after you're gone

I was better off before your time
When love I'd never known
For once someone's grown used to love
It's harder just being alone

Oh, I found heaven in your arms
A feeling I'd never known
I was better off before your time
Than I'll be after you're gone
Than I'll be after you're gone
