Before the World Was Made

If I paint the lashes dark

And the eyes more bright

And your lips more scarlet

Ask if it'll all be right

And it's mirror after mirror

No vanities displayed

You're just looking for the face you had

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

And if I look upon you now

As though I have my view

With the earth beneath your feet

And heaven up above

Would you think me cruel

After everything's been said

You're only looking for the face you had

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

And if I paint the lashes dark

And your eyes more bright

And your lips more scarlet

Ask if it'll all be right

And it's mirror after mirror

No vanities displayed

I'm just looking for the face you had

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

Your original face

Before time and space

Your original face

Before time and space

Your original, original face

Before the world was made

Before the world was made

Before the world was made
