Before The World Was Made Lyrics - Too Long In Exile - Van Morrison

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
