A church with no voices raised
Singing loud in heavenly praise
Is just four walls 'round a silent room
That was me before there was you

A ship with no guiding star 
Aimlessly drifting near and far
With no harbor to sail into
That was me before there was you

That was me before there was you
The last dark cloud in a sky of blue
On a lonesome wind just passing through
That was me before there was you

A world where darkness fell 
Like a coin down on an empty rail
Where no wish had ever come true
That was me before there was you

That was me before there was you
The last dark cloud in a sky of blue
On a lonesome wind just passing through
That was me before there was you 

That was me before there was you
The last dark cloud in a sky of blue
On a lonesome wind just passing through
That was me before there was you 

Oh, that was me before there was you
