A Love Before Time
by Coco Lee
From the motion picture Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
If the sky opened up for me,
And the mountains disappeared,
If the seas run dry turn to dust,
And the Sun refused to rise,
I would still, find my way,
By that light, I see in your eyes,
The world I know fades away,
But you stay,
(As the earth reclaims its due,
And the cycle starts anew,
We'll stay always)
In the love that we have shared,
Before time.
If the years take away,
Every memory that I have,
I would still, know the way,
That would lead me back to your side,
The north star may die
But the light, that I see,
In your eyes, will burn there always,
Lit by the love, we have shared, before time
(When the forest turns to jade,
And the stories that we've made,
Dissolve away)
One shining light will still remain,
(When we shed our earthly skin,
And the real life begins,
There'll be no shame)
In the love that we have made before time.
Go to...
