Back To Before Lyrics - Singles - Ragtime Soundtrack

There was a time 

Our happiness seemed never-ending 

I was so sure 

That where we were heading was right 

Life was a road 

So certain and straight and unbending 

Our little road 

With never a cross road in sight 

Back in the days 

When we spoke in civilized voices 

Women in white 

And sturdy young men at the oar 

Back in the days 

When I let you make all my choices... 

We can never go back to before 

There was a time 

My feet were so solidly planted 

You'd sail away 

While I turned my back to the sea 

I was content, 

A princess asleep and enchanted 

If I had dreams 

Then I let you dream them for me 

Back in the days 

When everything seemed so much clearer 

Women in white 

Who knew what their lives held in store 

Where are they now, 

Those women who stared from the mirror? 

We can never go back to before. 

There are people out there 

Unafraid of revealing 

That they might have a feeling 

Or they might have been wrong 

There are people out there 

Unafraid to feel sorrow, 

unafraid of tomorrow, 

unafraid to be weak... 

unafraid to be strong! 

There was a time 

When you were the person in motion 

I was your wife, 

It never occurred to want more 

You were my sky 

My moon and my stars and my ocean 

We can never go back to before 

We can never go back to before
