The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinkin' twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else that makes me whole
I am never needing more
I get this feeling
That I have loved you before
We were lovers in an army
Marching off for Rome
Side by side in battle
Did we bravely leave our home
Did I hold you in my arms
As you were taking your last breath
Did I shout to all the gods
That I would love you beyond death
Or more
I swear I've loved you before
Did we hide in the Dark Ages
From a vengeful God above
Were our names too unfamiliar
To ever speak of love
Did I cling to every moment with you
Every parting glance
An accidental touch
Did we ever take the chance
For more
I know I've loved you before
Have I wandered through the desert
Have I looked to the North Star
Have I rode the days and nights on rails
Just To get back where you are
And every time I found you
It's your eyes I know for sure
When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinkin' twice
When your smile can be so soothing
A familiar paradise
When there's no one else that makes me whole
I am never wanting more
I get this feeling
I know I've loved you before
I know I've loved you before
I've loved you before
