The Day Before You Came

Before you I knew only heartache My life empty, and leading nowhere Walking the path they call loneliness, Until the day you told me you cared But I was betrothed to another And no matter how hard we tried The bond between us grew stronger The loved we shared couldn’t be denied The day before you came I knew heartache, tears and pain Then your love shone on me, warm and bright Although our love was wrong It helped me to grow strong To break through the darkness, into the light Others told us we wouldn’t last Years passed, and we proved them wrong Nothing could pull us asunder The love we had, was much too strong The day before you came I knew heartache, tears and pain Then your love shone on me, warm and bright Although our love was wrong, It helped me to grow strong To break through the darkness, into the light Now you shine in heaven My life’s filled with pain The same as it was, The day before you came Now my life is empty without you I’m learning to live through the pain And I know that when my life is over We’ll walk beside each other again The day before you came I knew heartache, tears and pain Then your love shone on me, warm and bright Although now you’re gone, Your love light guides me on To break through darkness, into the light.
