Before (2018 Remaster)

The telephone's not answered

So many times you'll call

For many different reasons

So many tears will fall

Before you find your love

Before it comes knocking at your door

Before you know for sure

This is what you were waiting for

So many fears will haunt you

Deny them or regret

Some men will make you want to

And you will not forget

Before you find your love

Before it comes knocking at your door

Before you know for sure

This is what you were waiting for

There's a story of a man who loved too much

He ended up inside a prison cell

You've got to want to give to get it

Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell

It's happened before

It's happened before

Coincidence and patience

Will mend this fatal flaw

Though it may seem a long wait

Others have been here

Before you find your love

Before it comes knocking at your door

Before you know for sure

This is what you were waiting for

One day when the phone starts ringing

You'll answer to the words you're longing for

No tears no trade no prison cell

Whatever you need he will return more

It's happened before

It's happened before
