Back
At The Beginning Of Time
By Lutra Cana (12/18/99)
If I had known
Back at the beginning of time
How much it would hurt
To let you go
Would I have loved you
I stand on the edge of
Losing you forever
Forces I can't withstand
Conspire to steal you away
To take what we have
Built together
For all these years
Gone by
Would I have allowed
My heart to bleed
Now that it's time to
Say goodbye
Would I have forsaken
What we had to avoid
The death of my heart
My soul
My love, I'm afraid
That if I'd have known
I would have
Done it anyway
To have shared your life
Your love
To have known what it is
To be yours
I would let them kill me
A thousand times over
Just to have been
With you for only one day
You tried so hard
To hang on for me
To stick with me
Even when I couldn't
But now it's time
For you to go
For me to grieve
Go my friend,
My love
My heart
I rejoice in knowing you
I cry in losing you
In letting go
But it was all worth it
For that one brief moment
Back at the beginning of time
