Long long before your time (Video)

You asked me why I look so sad, 
on this bright summer day,
or why the tears are in my eyes,
and I seem so far away.

Well, sit yourself beside me, love,
and put your hand in mine
And I'll tell of someone I loved long,
long long before your time.

I'm sitting here and thinking of
those days so long ago,
when I was just a child like you,
and a girl I used to know.

Through fields of green we laughed and played,
and sang our merry rhymes
Oh, summer days were warmer then,
long long before your time.

Through childhood years our love did bloom, 
till our hearts were just as one
And we promised each eternal love
in the church before the town.

We sattled in this litlle house 
I was proud to call her mine
Oh, we were young and happy then, 
long long before your time.

One lovely year was all we had,
until the sickness came,
that stole the roses from her cheeks, 
my tears, they fell like rain.

For nine long months she carried you,
but in the end she died
She chose to go so you might live, 
long long before your time.

So you ask me why I look so sad, 
on this bright summer day,
or why the tears are in my eyes, 
and I seem so far away.

It's just you seem a lot like her, 
when your eyes look into mine
|: And you smile so much like she did,
long long before your time :|
