A Love before Time

A Love before Time
If the sky opened up for me
and the mountains disappeared
If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
and the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way
by the light I see in your eyes
The world I know fades away
but you stay

As the earth reclaims its due
and the cycle starts anew
We’ll stay, always
in the love that we have shared before time

If the years take away
every memory that I have
I would still know the way
that would lead me back to your side
The North Star may die
but the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
lit by the love we have shared before time

When the forest turns to jade
and the stories that we've made
Dissolve away
one shining light will still remain

When we shed our earthly skin
and when our real life begins
There'll be no shame
just the love that we have made before time
