Lyrics
I wonder how I ever made it through the day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
I never lived
Before your love
I never felt
Before your touch
I never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived
Before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
'Cause you've given me
A reason to exist
I never lived
Before your love
I never felt
Before your touch
I never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived
Before your love
I never lived
Before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived
Before your love
I never felt
Before your touch
I never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived
I never lived
Before
Your
Love
Writer(s): Desmond Child, Gary S. Burr, Cathy Dennis
