Before I Knew You

There's been something following me all my life Some protection that I can't define How I earned it, not a clue They said, "It's a universal stars align It's a message from the great divine" But it didn't quite ring true Like a hope I couldn't quite place 'Til the day I saw your face You were somewhere in the sunlight In the corners of my young mind Little whispers in a daydream Little voice that always saved me You were hiding in plain sight Now I see you every mornin' In your unencumbered glory But even when you hadn't found me You were right there all around me And I've been on my way to you I loved you long before I knew you Back then when you were bright-eyed And too young to care I wonder if you ever felt me there Like an unexpected breeze I hope, now that you and I are intertwined You can feel me with you all the time 'Cause that's where I wanna be You're the hope I couldn't place 'Til the day I saw your face You were somewhere in the sunlight In the corners of my young mind Little whispers in a daydream Little voice that always saved me You were hiding in plain sight Now I see you every morning In your unencumbered glory But even when you hadn't found me You were right there all around me And I've been on my way to you I loved you long before I knew you Before I know you And when we run out of mornings I'll remember all your glory And your love will always ground me Even when you're not around me And I'll still be singing to you I'll love you longer than I knew you
