Prequel To the Fall
As a springtime fancy turns into love
And from a dandelion sprouts a rose
Her eyes so enticing, her smile so inviting
With every raindrop our love grows
In the meadow where we first made love
On your blanket out in a field
Temptation took hold, and our once unknowns
To each the other revealed
Now the smell of the honeysuckle
Adrift on the breeze late in May
Seems to rewind to that place in time
Where my cares of this word fade away
While the troubles of life can seem so big
And the chances of us seemed so small
In you I found forever
It was the prequel to the fall
The prequel to the fall
When I first fell in love with you
Even though I'm a man, I still sometimes crawl
As I wrap my head round the truth
If luck were my diamond you'd surely shine
Much brighter than all of the rest
If the truth be told, I want you to know
You're the secret to my happiness
Time like a thief just keeps stealing
What still remains precious to me
And though our youth fades, and our hair turns gray
Our initials stay carved in that tree
So lets go wherever life takes us
It's as if our souls got the call
To remain with one another
It was the prequel to the fall
The prequel to the fall
When I first fell in love with you
We've since had our cake, and shared some champagne
Now our gift is a love that is true
The prequel to the fall
When I first fell in love with you
Your soul is my blessing, my heart's still obsessing
About the prequel to our fall
