Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Before My Time

1. I know that hearts were loving

long before I was here

and I'm not the first to evr cry

in my bed or in my beer

there were songs before there was radio

or love that stays and love that goes

Am

they were writing meloncholy tunes

and tearful words that rhyme

before my time

before my time

2. There were songs in old dusty books

of love thats always been

sweet lovers in their glory

who are now gone with thw wind

old fashion love words spoken then

keep coming back around again

nothings changed except the names

their love burns just like mine

before my time

before my time

R: And in the dim of yesterday

I can clearly see

that flesh and blood cried out to someone

as it does in me

and there was some old song that said

I love you' til I die

before my time

before my time

3. But what the old time masters had

is what I feel for you

love is love and doesn't change

in a century or two

if someway they had seen and knew

how it would be for me and you

they's wisk for love like yours

and they would wish for love like mine

before my time

before my time
