before & after

[Verse 1]

When I was younger, I used to wonder

What it would feel like to hold a tiny you

With your button nose, nobody knows

To prepare you for

How you'd make me discover a world in color

When all I used to know was a monochrome

Of sepia tones, can't believe how I've

Gone all this time

[Chorus]

If I could divide my life in two

It would be before and after you

I thought I knew what happiness was

But that was before I knew you, love

I thought all the future held was fear

But not after I've held you, dear

My lifе is divided

Before and aftеr you

[Verse 2]

One day I will grow old, I'll wish I know

How to travel back to this very day

A Saturday, blueberry pancakes

No other place

One day you will grow old, old enough to know

And you'll leave home, but I really hope

You will come back on a summer day

When you want to stay

[Chorus]

If I could divide my life in two

It would be before and after you

I thought I knew what happiness was

But that was before I knew you, love

I thought all the future held was fear

But not after I've held you, dear

My life is divided

Before and after you

[Outro]

(Before and after you)
