Before My Time Lyrics - American 3: Solitary Man - Johnny Cash

I know that hearts were loving 

long before I was here. 

And I'm not the first to ever cry 

in my bed or in my beer. 

There were songs before there was radio 

of love that stays 

and love that goes. 

They were writing meloncholy tunes 

and tearful words that rhyme. 

Before my time. 

Before my time.

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

There were songs in old dusty books 

of love that's always been. 

Sweet lovers in their glory 

who are now gone with the wind. 

Old fashioned love words spoken 

then keep coming back around again 

nothing's changed except the name, 

their love burned just like mine. 

Before my time. 

Before my time. 

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. 

But what the old time master's 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'd wish for love like yours 

and they would wish for love like mine. 

Before my time. 

Before my time.
