Dearest, dearest
One thing I know
That everything I feel for you
Started many ages ago
Long before I knew you,
Long before I met you.
I was sure I'd find you someday somehow.
I pictured someone who'd walk and talk
And smile as you do,
And make me feel as you do right now
All that was long before I held you,
Long before I kissed you,
Long before I touched you and felt that glow.
But now you really are here and now at last I know
That long before I knew you I loved you so
Long before I met you,
Long before I knew you.
I was sure I'd find you someday, somehow
I wanted someone who'd walk and talk
And smile as you do,
And make me feel as you do right now
All that was long before I held you,
Long before I kissed you,
Long before I touched you and felt this glow.
But now you really are here and now at last I know
That long before I knew you I loved you so
Long before I knew you
