Long be-fore I knew you
-3* -3* -3* -3* 3* -2
Long be-fore I met you
3* 3*  3*   3*  3   -1*  3*   3    -2  -2
I was sure I'd find you some-day, some-how
-1*-1* -1*  -1*  -2    3    3*  -3*  4
I pic-tured some-one who'd walk and talk
-4    4   -4  4  4*
And smile as you do
 4  -3*  -3  -3* -3 -3* 4   -3*   3*
And make me feel as you do right now
-2   3    3*  4   4   4   4 -3*   3
All that was long be-fore I held you
-3* -3* -3* -3*  3*   -2
Long be-fore I kissed you
 3*  3*  3*  3*   3    -1*
Long be-fore I touched you 
 3*  3    -1*  -2
and felt this glow
-1* -1* -1* -1*  -2  3   3*
But now you real-ly are here
-3*  4  -4  4  -5  -5*
And now at last I know
 -3   4   4   4   4 -3*   3
That long be-fore I knew you 
-3* 3*  -2 -1*
I loved you so
