When creation was young
Before rivers learned to run
Before hell caught fire
And God made the Sun
When creation was young
Before Adam fell for Eve
Before birds found melody
Before the apple hit the ground not far from the tree
Before Adam fell for Eve
Oh, I was loving you
I was loving you
I was loving you
Loving you
Before gold found the hills
Before fields felt a blade of a till
Before the sky was black as coal and the Earth stood still
Before gold found the hills
Oh, I was loving you
I was loving you
I was loving you
Loving you
Before you, you took a breath
Before sin ever confessed
Before hate was a word and life found death
Before you, you took a breath
Oh, I was loving you
I was loving you
I was loving you
Loving you
When creation was young
Before rivers learned to run
Before hell caught fire and God made the Sun
When creation was young
