lyrics

I never thought that a kiss goodbye
Could leave me so lonesome, could leave me so dry
Watching you walk away, I hope that you'll look up
But nothing I do or say will ever be enough

I know every breath that you take could honestly be your last
So give me the peace of mind
To hold you close, to feel your eyes
And to sink deep in your soul
Before you go, before you go
Before you go

Time after time you say that you would be content
Oh, if you passed away and were to heaven sent
Sometimes I wish I had the confidence you do
That nothing will ever end, as long as love is new

I know every breath that you take could honestly be your last
So give me the peace of mind
To hold you close, to feel your eyes
And to sink deep in your soul
Before you go, before you go
Before you go

Before you go, won't you let me explain myself
Before you go, won't you give me a sign
And did the stars complain when you asked them for the time
And did the moon exclaim, when you begged him to be kind

"There's a lovely face I see, lost among the evergreens"
Then the moon, he turned his head, and he started to cry
He said, "I don't know either, I don't know either
Where you'll be when you die"

I know every breath that you take could honestly be your last
So give me the peace of mind
To hold you close, to feel your eyes
And to sink deep in your soul
Before you go, before you go
Before you go
